PandaLabs Says The U.S. Is Not #1 – in PC Infections
September 30, 2009

The U.S. likes to be number one in everything – it’s just the American way. But, according to PandaLabs, the U.S. is going to have to settle for 9th place overall when it comes to malware infected computers. This is one area however, where not being number one is definitely better.

Ok, my country is not good in the picture...
But they say "according to data gathered from users that scanned and disinfected their computers with the free Panda ActiveScan online antivirus" and, maybe, reading the title you can think they're estimating the total number of computers and not the computers that run their online scanner...

 I wonder why our country is not listed under the most infected since many of my countrymen does not have an antivirus at all, moreover, majority of us are Windows XP users, so no pre-installed Windows Defender, just a firewall for defense.

Its % Infected PCs scanned.

So the systems that ran the free Panda ActiveScan in your country reported back to Panda that they were infected.

Have a look at their Quarterly Reports 2009:

Probably your countrymen have not run the free Panda ActiveScan.

For Panda, it's another nice cheap marketing tool to get people to buy their product....

in my country it is so good for users because the infections will be in first place silly trojans or sality virus and you can remove them by dr.web cure it or kaspersky sality kill ;D
the number of avast increase between home users but the offices and companies think kaspersky ,norton,nod32 is the best(they are wrong)
in my university they use nod32 and it is not so good :-[
