[QUOTE="Digmor Crusher, post: 1080304, member: 69540"] I think the fear is perpetuated by users who have some semblance of computer security, such as users on this forum. They know what's out there, the data stealers, ransomware, phishing etc, some overcompensate to try to mitigate these. But for the most part I would say the majority of computer users ( total guess 60%) have no idea or no interest in computer security or good habits, their just happy banging away on their social media accounts. Sure a lot get by and function, but nobody at all has any idea how many are infected, any inferences that they do is just opinion. There are 5 billion computer users in the world, if 1% of the happy users are infected that's 50 million, thats a lot and I'm sure the number is much higher than 1%. I've seen numbers that range from 10-50%. [/QUOTE]
