[QUOTE="Trident, post: 1029243, member: 99014"] But then there it is said that calculation of probability is the required result here. Without knowing a ton of information more about these sites, documents, protective measures and others you have 2 options: Assume that probability is always 50/50 as document can only be malicious and benign, and calculate probability on 100 documents (example) one to be malicious. Probability here is very high. Similarly to the probability for a coin to land on tails with 100 tosses. Or the second way is to look at the past 100 documents how many were malicious and calculate probability for the next 100 to be malicious which is 0.63/100 or 63%. Assuming that absolutely same tendencies continue with no change 😀 [/QUOTE]
