Re: Cnet tells users 100% guarantee infection
No matter how savvy of a computer user you are, your computer will be the victim of malware or a virus at some point.
Pretty bold statement from cnet. What do you guys think?
If I am counting correctly, I have owned 6 different computers (not counting my wife's), and none of them has ever been a victim of malware.
I have probably had at least 10 different desktop computers at work, and only one of them was ever a victim of malware - a minor virus accidently introduced by a department technician working on the machine.
I would say that the claim is a gross exaggeration.
Footnote: if Windows itself is considered malware, then all but three of the machines have had some version of that installed 
Footnote2: for those who consider linux to be malware, many of the machines have had that installed.
