[QUOTE="Solarquest, post: 770326, member: 25489"] The problem is most people don't have a deep (enough) knowledge of windows nor of security. MSFT could help a lot here by disabling by default dangerous attack vectors that are not needed. Automatic updates, a good AV, basic security courses at school and outside (free or cheap) would also help a lot. Unfortunately most user don't like warnings and at the end don't really know how to handle them. Unfortunately default deny, sandboxing is too complicated/ "stressful" for many. More security oriented users know or are learning what to do. Companies are another story..... [/QUOTE]
