China Internet Network Information Center and China’s National Computer Network Emergency Response Technical Team have recently released a survey regarding the use of antivirus software.
The percentage of Internet users in China with no security software was 4.4 percent last year, up from 3.9 percent the previous year, according to the survey results. Also CNNIC estimates that 384 million people in China used the Internet in the second half of last year.
The report also said China’s Internet users spent 15.3 billion yuan (US$2.2 billion) on “service fees” in 2009 to clean up after cyberattacks, and that downloading free antivirus software was the most popular way for users to get virus protection.
