Panda: China's 60% PC malware infection in the world in 2011

The famous security agency Panda Labs released the 2011 global malware report today. According to the report, as many as 26 million new malicious software items have emerged in the past year, reaching a record high. For specific countries, the PC malware rate in China has exceeded 60%, ranking first in the world.

Panda Labs has detected a total of 88 million malwares in its history, which means that it has added a full 30% last year. On average, 73,000 new malwares were added each day in 2011, a total of 10,000 more than a year ago.

Of the newly emerging malware, the Trojan Horse is still the biggest head. In 2009, its proportion was 60%. It dropped to 56% in 2010 and rebounded to 73.31% in 2011. That is, every time there are four malwares, three of them are Trojans. Fortunately, Trojans do not automatically replicate, so they do not trigger large-scale infections like viruses and worms. Other types and proportions include: 14.24% of viruses, 8.13% of worms, and 1.43% of advertisements. All these figures have been reduced.

In the historical rankings, the proportion of Trojan horses is as high as 66.18%, a full two-thirds, another virus 11.02%, worm 9.01%, advertising 8.50%.

The average malware infection rate of PCs in the world is 38.49%, of which China ranks first in terms of 60.57%, followed by Thailand 56.16% and Taiwan 52.82% – the top three strongest countries have taken up two seats, and only three are such. More than 50% of the places.

Other serious infections include: Turkey, Russia, Brazil, Polan, Costa Rica, Argentina, and Slovenia. The United States ranks 11th with 39%, slightly higher than the global average.

Most of the cleanest countries are from Europe, of which Sweden is the safest with 24%, and the only one with less than 25%, followed by Switzerland, Norway, Austria, Germany, Japan, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Australia, Belgium (about 33%).
