Reality Check

Average computer users probably feel more secure than they might have a decade ago, but in fact, they´re likely far less secure. Although security technology has come a long way, threats have moved a lot faster. Malware is expert at hiding itself, and people aren´t aware that they´re infected, even as the malware silently uses their CPUs in money-making schemes such as click fraud, spam delivery, and more. Antivirus software is broadly deployed, and spam filters keep the annoyance level down.
