To start with the plural of virus is viruses not viri or virii.

Secondly what you asked is a complex issue that can't be catagorized or statistically
analyzed into numbers for software. You use the word "affected", what does that mean ?
You mentioned IE and OE. The core of both is HTML rendering through IE. The way they may be
affected is through vulnerability explotation. Can this be numerically analyzed as to the
numer of type of malware that exploit them ? Probably not. There are more than 240,000
infectors out there and the list grows not daily but hourly.
There is just too many forms of malware and there is so much overlap that this is just not
done.
