Malware hides, so you cannot expect your computer to be malware-free, even when you have antivirus.
My computer works fine, but I am fairly sure that I might have something lurking in there. Rootkits or similar. Not because I did anything wrong, but just because it's a computer connected to the internet.
Are there any numbers on this? Statistics or such?
Please clarify your specific problem or add additional details to highlight exactly what you need. As it's currently written, it’s hard to tell exactly what you're asking. See the How to Ask page for help clarifying this question. If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
I don't believe there's an all-inclusive answer to this statistic, but you may be able to get a feel for it if you compile the numbers that anti-viruses release during their annual security bulletins, such as Kaspersky's.
And for bonus points, Kespersky has a pretty neat interactive map which includes statistics, which is really convenient when management walks by, because it at least makes you look busy, and management likes flashy animations and graphs.
