Microsoft report details drop in virus attacks worldwide

About 18 percent of computers worldwide encountered a virus or malware last year, down from 19 percent the previous year, Microsoft said in a report outlining the state of cybersecurity threats.

People were most likely to encounter malware in North Africa, the Middle East and Southeast Asia.
