[QUOTE="509322, post: 770245"] Most people want default allow. So the industry gives them exactly that. It's a matter of economics (money). Eventually, ... IF ... a person has tried different things and comes to the conclusion that default allow is "Whack-A-Mole," then they begin to search for more robust protections, and usually discover default deny. It's a journey of the person and not the masses. I think it takes that personal journey. Default deny has been available for decades, and has been unfairly maligned to the point that it now has an excessively negative reputation,... however, people don't use it - even if it is as easy as an ON\OFF switch. User psychology is very weird. Very weird indeed. [/QUOTE]
