If the typical PC user cannot be expected to take normal precautions to protect from worms, virii, etc, then they should not be using a PC.

When a youngster, my father trained me in the precautions of using a firearm before he even let me use one.

I am not saying there should be some sort of licensing to use a PC. I'm just saying users need to be more informed and knowledgeable before using a tool. There is no excuse really.

It's much like an auto manufacturer issuing a safety bulletin on your new vehicle and not taking it in for repair when you know it exists. As much as I dislike Microsoft, they cannot really be held accountable for this instance since a patch has been available for some time.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,7681828 Thu, 14 Aug 2003 16:14:00 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,7679135 Rothan Tik : I run anti-virus and have a firewall on my router. But I guess I can't expect that much of the typical computer user who has not discovered this site yet. :[
