One thing I would like to see is a more conclusive map of the worldwide infection as in the maps here: »
www.hackerwatch.org/map/ ··· period=1 These maps are only showing participants in HackerWatch, which I would conclude to mean, "educated" users.
I think this is a pretty fair assessment of the indiscriminate browsing habits in the US, and parts of Western Europe. I know some countries (i.e.: India) can not stay online the amount of time the average US surfer does, simply to conserve electrical power. Fax machines are turned off at night to conserve energy. By the same token, less systems become infected and/or infect others.
How to educate the average user, especially in the "first world" countries should be the primary goal, but this is a near impossible task without interference from the powers that be (i.e.: governmental regulation). It would be a matter of privacy v. security, and we all know the uproar that would cause. Big Brother is already thinking along these lines, as they too understand the ramifications and destruction that can, in the not-so-distant future ensue.
