| are they simple?
yes the majority of computer users are simple, i know this fool who bought a whole new computer because she got a virus, she wanted my help and she said "well i have pc-cillan" and i told her it wasnt good and she needed something better, she said she didnt have the money if she wasnt sure it would work, and wouldnt let me run an online scan "because it could of been set up by a 12 year old". she blamed me (i was staying over for a few days, thats something else) for the virus(es) because i had "been to google, it had something to do with the google ads thats what i traced it down to". then it had something to do with a game i downloaded from downloads.com, a very popular one. and the symptoms of the virus were present already.
so she bought another $600 computer, and still didnt buy any antivirus protection for it, sigh.
i dont know, on one hand if they dont offer protection they might loose customers who wont reformat, but if they do it costs more for everyone. so expect to see more firewalls/antivirus from isps soon. | |

| It was something the ISPs were playing around with a few years ago to offer paid premium services like A-V, Firewall install and configuration, LAN install and configuration, and similar things. At the time everybody poo-pooed the idea. Seems like the iron might be hot... time to strike!
