[QUOTE="509322, post: 721758"] That is hardly a validation. There are a lot of people who have never been infected. Never being infected over X number of years does not validate the protection quality of the installed security software if the system was never exposed to a threat in the first place. Not being infected over a period of years can have everything to do with probability and low-risk exposure. It is like saying a PC that is turned on with security software XYZ installed, is perpetually used only to connect to MalwareTips, is never infected and attributing the fact that it was never infected over all that time to the "superior protection capability of XYZ" when, in reality, the system was never exposed to a single threat and security software XYZ did nothing to protect the system.
