The Prevalence Of Threats: How Popular Is The Malware That Infected Your System? (blog.immunet.com)
3 points by zulfikar_ramzan 5708 days ago
In my last blog post, I talked about the infection rates of Immunet users (namely looking at how many threats we blocked on different machines). In this post, I’d like to dive into how frequently a piece of malware might show up on a given system.

Right around half of "all threats" are only found on one machine. I'm assuming that's one Windows machine. What's the point of a signature-based detector again?

Also, I'd like to see the same kind of figures for Linux.
