Abstract: In relation to the ErdH os similarity problem (show that for any infinite set

A

of real numbers there exists a set of positive Lebesgue measure which contains no affine copy of

A

) we give some new examples of infinite sets which are not universal in measure, i.e. they satisfy the above conjecture. These are symmetric Cantor sets

C

which can be quite thin: the length of the

n

-th generation intervals defining the Cantor set is decreasing almost doubly exponentially. Further, we achieve to construct a set, not just of positive measure, but of extit{full measure} not containing any affine copy of

C

. Our method is probabilistic.
