The graph in question is number of samples (i.e. 82), not percentages, and certainly not "75 million" as you suggest. The "75 million" figure in the next paragraph of Mcafee's report refers to Windows malware, not Android, and even the meagre 82 samples of Android "malware" is just social engineering (trojans) not virus infections, and therefore has no bearing on the actual security of Android. Please correct this misleading article. This article has been debunked as false. The graph in question is number of samples (i.e. 82), not percentages, and certainly not “75 million” as you suggest.
