As an IT professional for more than 7 years, I have to disagree with you on that one. Business users are not more aware of the dangers. What they do have over the home user is an IT staff that tries to secure the network from spyware, and a helpdesk/technical support staff to clean the machine if it should get infected.

Re: Just the tip of the iceberg...

I would have thought that businesses would have their employees sign an internet/computer usage agreement that tells them they are not to install other software or download programs from the internet...

We do that here for all the kids (but they ignore it and we can't expel the entire student body) and we also make sure teachers are aware of the facts to help keep the kids from doing it as well as themselves.

But of course we still get teachers who ask if Kazaa would be ok on their computer...

You are obviously the more professional person than I , so despite my explanation of my position, you are probably more correct. I understand your logic and I accept it.
