Malware: The State Of The Threat

Most malware is acquired when users visit questionable web sites (e.g. adult sites) or when they click on questionable email (e.g. free offers or fake invoices). MS Windows is by far the most vulnerable operating system — but malware exists for Apple OS X and Linux also. You can significantly reduce your risk of a malware attack by keeping your OS, web browser and applications updated diligently.
