[QUOTE="monkeylove, post: 1082658, member: 19756"] For the same reason, they will not be able to use advanced software to put apps or even the browser in a sandbox. Or turn on (or off) features like virtualization. Or tweak the built-in security program and then try to figure out what went wrong when other apps slow down or they can no longer access their data folders. Also, attack surfaces don't simply expand with misconfiguration or even new security apps but even new features in apps and the OS. And not only do "ridiculous amounts of software" (talk about drama queen statements!) add more bugs, so do the same features. Did you forget about that? The problem isn't using third-party software without habits, it's that people can forget those habits, and your definition of those habits become increasingly complicated (e.g., wait it out, check the app or site through VirusTotal first) it comes out you're essentially insisting that users do things manually. You don't talk about balancing things. Rather, you kept insisting in each post that more security apps will lead to more complications, so one has to keep things simple and let the user figure things out. Incredible. Next, what about social engineering? You keep ignoring the point that more malware infections don't involve that, and not once did you address that point in your posts. Now, there's your problem: you talk about users in this forum that have not been infected. How do you know? And is an average user, which is what we have been talking about, one who would participate in forums this like? [/QUOTE]
