1 edit | Lessons? Where are mandatory security lessons and COMMON SENSE for people using computers these days? 
Hardware firewalls and anti-spyware countermeasures (IE SpywareBlaster) have to be a top priority now.
What if more people used Linux or Linux based OSes than Windows? We'd have far less zombie PCs as we know it. |

Even if we did have mandatory security lessons... it wouldn't do a damn thing. Why is that? Take a look at the millions upon millions of seemingly complete idiots who take to the nation's highways everyday. They all supposedly had to take driving classes and/or pass a driving test. Yet, it seems 99% of most drivers still don't understand the basic mechanics of driving. Many people haven't mastered the basic mechanics of using turn signals, driving right / passing left, obeying traffic lights/signals, signs, etc.
Why on earth does anyone think the masses will ever master the basics of anti-virus, firewalls, anti-spyware, safe surfing, etc??? It's not going to happen... which is great for those who make a living off the more moronic of our species. |

You may be right, but once linux and Mac become more mainstream like windows then idiots will target them too. Why target an OS where a few million use it when you can target one that is used by 90x more people. |
