Computer user behavior become an important factor in determining the level of security of the computer itself, especially when connected with the Internet.
Unfortunately, there are still many users are ignore about this. At least, it is seen from the report that the latest Security Intelligence Report shows the data is quite astonishing.
In the report, it was revealed that 25% of computers around the world, is not equipped with anti-malware software. Some countries that enter the category 'hotspots', ie Egypt.

In this country, the PC is not protected anti-virus and malware reached number 40%. In America, the number reached 26% and UK 21%.
The research is done based on data obtained from the internet service provider which covers 600 million computers around the world. Also mentioned in the report, PC that are not protected on average has been experiencing malware attacks as much as 5.5 times.
Entering the second half of 2012, there were 2.5 of 10 computers or 25% of in the world computers are not protected by antivirus software is up-to-date. According to Microsoft, the computer is not protected mainly caused because several aspects that can stand alone or a combinations thereof.
The cause of the aspects it including because ignorance from the user, end of trial antivirus software, because malware infection, or because be fooled by fake antivirus software. Meanwhile, Yudhi Strong, Technical Consultant antivirus company ESET Indonesia submits, in many cases, this aspect is also sometimes caused because 'negligence' when certain needs.
"For example, for needs such as playing online games, antivirus software is disabled intentionally, but then they forget to turn it back on," he said in his statement. Previously, ESET also conducted a survey of 1,000 PC gamers in the UK and the results are astounding, ie from 1,000 PC gamers, 30% of whom acknowledge them disable security applications before beginning to play.
As a result, half of those who disable security features exposed to malware infection and need more than two days to repair the computer to return to normal. The findings, by Stephen Cobb who was one of a person malware researcher at ESET, regarded as a condition that is not surprising. He even claimed that the number of computers that are not protected not only happening in personal computers.
The same conditions also hit the computer in many organizations, both business or government agencies. Based on the research report Third Annual Patient Privacy & Data Security Study, with a sample of health institutions.
"A survey conducted by Larry Ponemon of the Ponemon Institute, opened facts concerning behaviors related to cyber security, especially in the running of anti-malware scanning procedure in the industry," he said.
