[QUOTE="TairikuOkami, post: 1060237, member: 61892"] There were tests like that, but they are deprecated, security companies did not like them, obviously. They tell you, that if you go on the internet without AV or a firewall, you will be infected within seconds. Well that might have been true during XP days, but not anymore. I recall getting infected by XP restart worm twice during a clean installing of XP, because it had not firewall. 10/11 are so secure by default, that you would have to do get infected by yourself, actually many people do, because they share their card details or passwords for mere asking. You can try kids tests like this: [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.grc.com/shieldsup[/URL] To sum it up, getting infected by malware is almost impossible, unless you are a security illiterate. Getting hacked can not be prevented, hackers hack NSA or FBI, so you do not stand a chance. [/QUOTE]
