[QUOTE="artek, post: 770507, member: 22897"] I don't know that I agree that it's the user fault. I think it's more the OS manufacturers fault than anything. If compromise due to social engineering are the norm than there's something wrong with the system. Knowledgeable computer users are in the minority, and it is possible to design a system that is highly resitant to the probelms a typical windows user faces. One only needs to look at iOS to see an example of it. That's not to suggest that permissive computing enviroments are bad, but I belive they're bad for your typical home-user. [/QUOTE]
