[citation][nom]ominous prime[/nom]I agree with you that a vast majority of malware infections are caused by user stupidity. Just because one is open to infection, doesn't mean that they will become infected, depends on their general intelligence. If you are a moron who clicks links that say, "DO NOT CLICK, WILL INFECT YOUR PC WITH TROJANZ!!!" (in a study I read, a bunch of idiots clicked it on a google ad, of course it didn't infect the users) but you're probably going to get malware, etc. If you're stupid.[/citation]
Agreed, more and more in this world we are refusing to take responsibility for our own actions, always seeking to pin the blame on whoever sold, gave, loaned, acted for, us the products/services we use. It's one of the worst traits of modern society. It won't be long until we see ads like these:
"have you been involved in a malicious software attack that wasn't your fault?"
Probably on spyware loaded, clickable, ad banners.
