Users of Microsoft Windows found themselves in the bull's-eye -- years of inattention to security issues in Redmond, Wash., left them exposed to the Blaster worm, the Sobig virus, Messenger Service pop-ups, spyware infestations and worse, while Mac and Linux users missed out on all the "fun." | ||

sphbecker- I don't think users are idiots, but users don't know much about computers.
I don't know if there's a good source out there for information to help educate. If there isn't, I think we need to create one. The problem that I see is that there isn't a good source that tells people how to really be secure, instead there is a lot of sky is falling doom sayers which give incredibly bad advice like that Steve Gibson moron over at grc.com. Perhaps it's time for ActiveWinSecurity.com. :) |
