UK Internet users have a 1 in 63 chance on any given day of suffering an online attack when they are on the web. The world average is 1 in 73. Going online in Africa and South America were much safer than UK. There are many places far more risky than the UK – such as the US. These are the results of research by AVG, the Internet security business. AVG has warned business users to take care when using their computer abroad and be aware of the heightened risks in some countries. In particular, people should log out and close their browser when they have finished their session.
