Avast: Windows XP users already attacked 6 times more often than Windows 7 users


Strange that, when others have never been attacked in the time that I have had avast and XP. I guess Safe browsing practice, proactive measures, a healthy dose of scepticism/suspicion and common sense goes a long way ;D
