The newly published Microsoft Security Intelligence Report (SIR) has said
that the Windows 7PC is more at risk of having malware than XP computers.


Microsoft said that in the last quarter of 2013, the Windows 7 computers
it
scanned were more likely to be infected by malware than PCs running
Windows
XP. An infection rate of 2.59% was found for Windows 7 PC compared to
2.42%
for XP.

Windows Vista was also affected by malware.

I have Malware Bytes on every computer. So far, nothing has gotten by.

Daughter got something from Facebook that attacks only Windows 7 OS's.
First thing it did was disable Malwarebytes and her AV. Then it pretended
to be her AV and told her that she needed to pay to remove the virus.

I wound up paying our local computer store to remove it. They said it is a
PITA to remove and there was nothing she could have done to prevent getting
it. She didn't use Facbook for a very long time after that though!
