Windows 7 - PC Tools Beta 2010 Security Product Release

The results of PC Tools global survey of 4500 users are in! While consumers are aware of potential sources of infection, 74% of people are not aware of the need for behavioural based protection against online threats. This leaves them at risk from new and unknown threats on social networking sites, instant messaging services and other online communication and networking tools. As many as one in five do not understand the potential impact of some of the more dangerous attacks like zero day threats, while 41% of respondents use only one or two passwords across all the sites they visit online and 8% use only one password for all sites, suggesting respondents are not so security savvy!

On the other hand, research showed that a significant proportion of people are aware of the need for some level of security protection for their PCs with 57% saying that they have a security suite installed and 64% having their security software configured to update automatically as new information becomes available. A savvy 84% will always take action when they receive a security alert from the software they’ve installed, while 37% will verify a received link before following it...great work people!

While it’s promising to see that most respondents are security aware and have installed security products on their PCs, it seems users may be bloating their systems by installing too many security solutions.
