Several developing countries, such as Bangladesh, Pakistan, Indonesia, and Egypt, are highly vulnerable to computer virus attacks. According to the *Microsoft Security Intelligence Report* 2017, these countries experienced an average of 24 percent or more attacks in the first quarter of 2017.

The typical virus threats in Bangladesh in March 2017 included the Win32/Ippedo worm family (ranked fourth in the country), along with Win32/Floxif, and Win32/Vercuser. In Pakistan, the prevalent viruses were from the Win32/Nugel and Win32/Tupym families.

In March 2017, computer virus attacks in Indonesia reached 25.6 percent. This means that 25 percent of computers in Indonesia were infected. Common viruses in Indonesia included worm families such as Win32/Gamarue, Win32/Macoute, and Win32/Copali. Lack of public awareness regarding the dangers of virus attacks, coupled with widespread use of unofficial applications, makes Indonesia highly susceptible to computer viruses.
