Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware Finds Over 32,000 Infections On A Single Computer.

February 12, 2011

We all know how much of a problem malware can be on the Internet and computers in general these days. I just found this picture on the front page of reddit which clearly demonstrates how important it is to have a good anti-malware program installed on your computer. Check out the results from a complete system scan with Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware:

Objects scanned: 289,910

Objects infected: 32,154

Infection rate: 11.1%

That's insane! Over 11% of that computers files were infected.

So how can you protect yourself from a situation like this? I'm going to recommend you read over my article on

how to stay secure online for more information. If you end up infected and need assistance with cleaning it out, feel free to post on the BestTechie forums under the Malware Removal section.

It's also worth noting that Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware PRO version comes with a real-time protection module as well as addition protection like

IP Blocking which make keeping your computer infection free much easier.

So what's the most amount of infections you have ever caught with Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware?

Give my system and security package a check out also. Just a combo of protection and tune up programs (all thanks to nsanedown for the awesome programs, I simply RAR'd the ones I use for convinieance.)

Staff Note: Moved to Security & Privacy Center, the article is just is a tad little older to fit in news section; And added a source link. :)

Now that's a big number. Probably a virus infected computer, no, not a trojan type virus, but a real virus.

I was recently cleaning up a friends lappy...it had 162 hits with MWB. And thought that was bad..lol

I use CounterSpy 4 myself but it's almost expired...sure would be nice is I could find a crack/trial reset for it. CS is one of the highest rated anti-malware apps around. *hint hint*cough*Box*cough ^_^
