Close.... but I think you misplaced a decimal in this calculation:
2,700,000,000 / 16,000,000 = 0.59%
Should be 5.9%....
but, according to the actual report from MS, those ~16 million malware were only on the 5.7 million infected computers. The reason the number of malware was greater than the number of infected computers was because they found that if a computer was infected, it was likely infected with more than one malware.
So the ~16 Million malware were actually on only ~2.1% of the computers.
Sheesh... I'm getting math challenged too... you were referring to the total number of scans, approximately 10 per computer, right?
put the decimal back... .59%
No I didn't... do it yourself!
2,700,000,000 / 16,000,000 = 0.005925926

I understand that. And that makes perfect sense to me. :~)
