In 2013, Microsoft released a security report saying that the malware infection rate of PC in China is 0.6 per thousand, which is only 1/10 of the global average, and it is the country with the lowest malware infection rate in the world. In 2014, Microsoft issued another report. After summarizing the detailed data of more than 1 billion computers in more than 100 countries and regions around the world, China’s malware statistics (CCM)4.4 was the lowest in the world, far below the world average of 18.
