[QUOTE="gfgtkitkat34, post: 1113685, member: 116087"] How likely is it for malware to execute on its own? [LIST=1] [*]Hi there, How likely is it for malware to execute by itself and infect a latest Win 11 system? (Without user interaction and just being there). [/LIST] [LIST] [*]I understand that there are zero days for everything, but in this case let's assume that no one wants to hack the user with a brand new exploit. [*]And also let's consider that the user downloaded this file from a cloud storage, and he didn't get it from a USB drive. [/LIST] [LIST=1] [*]What are the chances of an executable file, such as .exe or .bat, harming a device without the user ignorantly opening them? [/LIST] Much appreciated. [/QUOTE]
