Romania Ranks Third on List of Countries with Most Malware-Infected Computers

A report based on the results provided by BitDefender’s free online scanning service QuickScan has revealed that Romania is on the third position in the top 10 countries most affected by cyber threats.

India and Thailand occupy the first two spots, followed by Romania, where 13% of the online scans identified traces of malware.

Experts believe that Romania ranks so high because of the large number of pirated software that’s currently utilized by internauts. Another cause might be the lack of advanced security solutions that are capable of working autonomously for longer periods.

At the other end of the poll the study places Germany (4.7%) and the UK (6.5%). On a global scale, 11.5% of the scanned machines have been found to host viruses.

The most common malicious elements detected during the scans were Sirefef, Kazi, Graftor, Ramnit, and the famous Sality.

Putea sa fie si 40% , cu ce afecteaza utilizatorul 'responsabil' ? oricum in romania ca sa te infectezi 90% din cazuri tre sa fii prost. Cine naiba da cu exploit packuri in romania?

Intr-adevar, nu e ca si cum s-ar fi facut un "top" global, colectand date de la toti furnizorii de servicii anti-virus. Insa, mai mult sau mai putin, chiar daca Bitdefender nu e vreo "scula", Romania are o rata destul de mare a sistemelor infectate, avand parte de foarte multi utilizatori ce nu folosesc servicii anti-virus, avand sistemele neactualizate de ani buni.

Si ce vrei sa spui cu faptul ca nu folosesc antivirus? Asta inseamna ca sunt infectati? Eu folosesc de o vreme buna doar firewall si nu am nici o problema. Oricum bitdefender mereu a fost de rahat, avira sau chiar avg fac treaba mult mai buna.

Nu conteaza daca folosesti sau nu antivirus,eu nu mai folosesc antivirus de ani buni si nu m-am infectat.

Daca esti prost te infectezi si cu 3 antivirus-uri in PC.

Nu am zis ca esti neaparat infectat, insa rata de a fi infectat e mult mai mare fata de a unui utilizator de servicii AV. Iar in Romania, mare parte, nu folosesc, nu au sistemele la zi, descarca cacaturi fara a verifica autorul inainte, s.a.m.d.

Daca e sa ne luam dupa scanarile online... E aiurea rau! Majoritatea celor care fac scanari online fac asta deoarece sunt deja infectati si nu pot sa-si downloadeze un av free (chiar acum 2 zile am citit asta pe un forum oarecare).

Nu conteaza daca folosesti sau nu antivirus,eu nu mai folosesc antivirus de ani buni si nu m-am infectat.

Aici ai dreaptate! Poti sa ai mama av-ului,daca esti petarda... Degeaba!
