2021 saw a massive surge in detections of malware, adware, and Potentially Unwanted Programs (PUPs). It didn’t matter what the computers were used for or what operating system they ran—across business and home computers, on Windows and on Mac, detections went up, enormously.
Detections of malware on Windows business machines were 143% higher in 2021 than in 2020, and 65% higher on consumer machines.
