[QUOTE="509322, post: 752512"] No matter how hard you try, you will not find a suite or layered security that will ever be able to completely protect a system against users who just don't know what they're doing. The best that you can do when dealing with the uninformed and uninitiated is to rollback the system to a known clean state after they are done using the system. The thing of it, as systems become more complex (as Microsoft piles more and more ##### onto Windows), the security softs become increasingly complex also - to protect those that cannot protect themselves. And in turn, as the security soft complexity increases even at the defaults, fewer and fewer people can handle it. So it is a vicious cycle. It's a no-win:no-win situation. If people would stop expecting a security soft to be a substitute for knowledge and experience, they would be safer. But until that changes, nothing will change. [/QUOTE]
