If you hit people where it hurts (i.e. the pocketbook), then they will be more likely to safeguard their system. Most people don't give a shit if their system is infected, as long as they can get to the porn sites on a regular basis and open any and all email that is sent to thier inbox. |

Why do people always assume that everyone is a porn user that gets infected? There are many people who do NOT go to porn sites that get infected. True, most of the ones I know of are also more or less clueless about computers except maybe for a very narrow application knowledge.

People shouldn't have to be Techs to use the internet.
If hardware companies made equipment easier to use, easier to set up, and easier to understand... Might help.
If Software companies didn't release software that wasn't secure and needing to be updated weekly over the latest hole and/or threat...
If software companies didn't install hidden programs that opened more holes in the OS...
The issue isn't about PORN.. I think you are making a judgement that is COMPLETELY out of line.

If software companies didn't install hidden programs that opened more holes in the OS... I can agree somewhat with this. Some software and even some anitvirus software is more bloated than many users care to use. Hell, I don't even use some of the software because of bloatedness and crapware.
said by chesney09 :The issue isn't about PORN.. I think you are making a judgement that is COMPLETELY out of line. Here we go again, I didn't say "Everyone who is infected goes to porn sites", I also did not say that "Everyone must be techs to operate a computer", I simply stated that most people don't care whether they are infected, nor do they want to take the steps or measures to fix or prevent such occurences. This includes opening email attachments from people you don't know or someone promising you all the world's riches "if you click here". |
