[QUOTE="509322, post: 773639"] The vast majority of Average Joes that I see use either default Windows security or Avast Free because it is promoted so hard everywhere online. The vast majority of Average Joes that I see refuse to pay for security softs. Those Average Joes that use default Windows security, when asked why they haven't improved their security, typically respond "What ?" Average Joe just wants the latest and greatest digital gizmos. What is important to them is does it work and how fast can they get it out of the box and up-and-running ? Average Joes place a high priority on what to take out of freezer for supper, what time they will do their laundry, and what clothes they should buy. Protecting their data and finances probably isn't even a priority for them. They don't know. They're happy in their ignorance. And even if they were informed by someone who explains they should take their IT security more seriously, they very likely would care less. All of it would go in one ear and out the other. People on these forums don't get that these forums are literally a miniscule microcosm. The points of view here more than likely represent something on the order of less than 0.1 % of the population.
