McAfee has run an experiment where a number of subjects using pristine laptops spent a month surfing the web unprotected (except for anti-virus). 

By the end of the month EMEA had garnered over 56,000 spam emails. Here is the UK the volume of Nigerian phishing attacks was the most prevalent.

Moral to all of this - smart surfing is safe surfing
