Re: Clueless users still weak point in security

Far more so from simply running unknown attachments.

A certain Comcast user has been sending me the new Sober version virtually from the day it appeared. Even after I identified who it was, contacted them and provided a link to a removal tool. A week after the latter, they are still coming in.

Until ISP's start cutting off infected users, virii and worms will continue to cause issues like this.
