This question will never be able to be answered 100% correctly without the complete militarization of the human race. To answer this certain assumptions have to be made.

1 - lets assume based on a 66% "adult" population worldwide who use the internet

2 - lets assume out of that 66%, only 50% use the internet in a manner that requires a persona

3 - assume all individuals will use their first name

Math time. 66% of 6 billion is 4 billion people. We know that names are not as unique as people, so, based on the number of J Smiths in my phonebook I can say that out of every 150 people, only 1 will use their real name, the rest must improvise.

So, extremely rough estimate, based on no scientific fact whatsoever, I'd say that approximately 3.9 billion people use a fake identity on the internet

What is antivirus2008?

Antivirus2008 is known as Norton Antivirus2008 but hackers are now using the "Antivirus2008" name for a rogue or fake program. Do not confuse Norton antivirus2008 with the fake Antivirus2008 program. Norton Antivirus2008 is a legitimate product but antivirus2008 is not. Antivirus2008 is a rogue anti-spyware program that is totally different from Norton's AntiVirus programs because of the popup alerts that it gives you warning you of an infection. Norton Antivirus is not as intrusive as the fake antivirus2008 program. You may also notice that the rogue anti-spyware program Antivirus2008 does not actually remove spyware or viruses from your computer if you try to use it. (do not ever use the fake antivirus2008 program) Hackers have used this name to confuse computer users and trick them into purchasing the bad program which happens to be named Antivirus2008. You can remove the fake program from your computer by following guides that are available online such as Spyware-Techie http://www.spyware-techie.com/antivirus-2008-or-antivirus2008-removal-guide/ or http://www.2-spyware.com/remove-antivirus2008.html or BleepingComputer http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/topic147792.htm. Antivirus2008 is very difficult to remove and simply using the add/remove feature in Windows does not completely remove it.

Are online penny auctions a fake?

A fake? Online Penny Auctions are a real thing, and people win real items on them. Check out Zeekler, QuiBids, BidCactus, or several others for a reputable online penny auction. I won some earrings for my mother, but I had to watch them for several hours. People see it as more of an entertainment thing than actual shopping, but deals can be had. If you're interested in how they work, just google how online penny auctions work, or I think there's a site out there with a similar name - probably several.
