I had thought and wanted to believe that PC users were advancing beyond the days where we wandered around the internet without antivirus, but your article points out, and rightly so, that I have a skewed perspective on this. All of my friends are nerds. We all already know about computer security and those of my friends that aren't nerds are friends with nerds, so they get computer security force fed to them by the nerds that fix their PCs. tsykoduk: It will be mine! Oh yes... it will be mine. Bill, that is scary.

See http://www.computerworld.com/action/article.do?command=viewArticleBasic&articleId=9121958 It's why Microsoft is building more and more of it "by default" into Windows (OneCare).
