1.91% of all PCs are fully patched! – 98% insecure!

Following the release of Secunia Personal Software Inspector 1.0 last
week, we have taken a look at the “state of things”. The results are
shocking and prove as well as emphasize the need for a patching solution
for private users.

1.91% of all PCs are fully patched!

Over the course of the past week since we released the Secunia PSI 1.0,
it has been successfully installed more than 120,000 times.

We have used statistics collected from new users of the Secunia PSI 1.0
during the last 7 days. The total number of PCs/users included in these
numbers are 20,000, out of these 98.09% have 1 or more insecure programs
installed on their PC, hence: 98 out of 100 PCs that are connected to
the Internet have insecure programs installed!

Number of insecure programs per PC/user:

0 Insecure Programs: 1.91% of PCs
1-5 Insecure Programs: 30.27% of PCs
6-10 Insecure Programs: 25.07% of PCs
11+ Insecure Programs: 45.76% of PCs

It is just as important to patch your programs against security threats,
as it is to have a personal firewall and anti-virus!
