Really, it wouldn't matter if it was as little as 1 in 10 or smaller infected per download. It only takes one to infect the whole machine, and the thing about pirates is, they don't stop at just one or two warez downloads. So you downloaded a handful of warez and only one had an infection...well yeah, that's pretty much what we've been saying all along. It's basically playing Russian Roulette with your PC security, which is funny, because it has about the same odds, and yet you don't see people rushing to play that. The consequences of malware may not be death, but how about loss of irreplaceable data, money stolen from banking accounts, identity theft, a lifetime of bad credit ratings...?
