Sorry guys, but for example I have a 62 year old aunt, and if I wasn't her nephew, she would probably have a dell running windows xp compromised to hell and back and still thing she was running fine. She didn't even want a PC but her work made her get one as they now do all communication over e-mail. Normal users especially the older population are easily tricked by simple pop-ups and don't even realize it, but who goes after those companies?
For the record my aunt and uncle have become rather proficient with their PC use and are running Ubuntu 6.10, so yes a person can be taught, but did their business offer any kind of training? Nope, I had to do it, and if I didn't and they had gone the "normal" route, then odds are good, there would be one more machine propagating worms across the net.
