 Common sense...

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.

Typical PC users (those who don't use firewalls, AV's, etc) are like the typical user who SHOULD NOT use firearms. 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.
