Kinda... Not to be too much of a stickler for the facts, but I'm fairly sure it was a bit less than 15 years back. In fact, it was toward the end of the "macro virus scourge" years, so maybe little more than a decade back! Oh, and Bontchev's research sets 97% as a lower bound. Recognizing that his data had obvious sampling biases toward the "smarter end" [??] of the spectrum (those who would choose to use antivirus products), the Boncthovian hypothesis (as an expert in almost all things V. V. Bontchev, believe me, that is the right adjectival form!) is actually "_at least_ 97% of people are idiots" (emphasis added, but surely approved by VBB!).
