[QUOTE="mazskolnieces, post: 895979, member: 88422"] That is not a realistic scenario. Most people do not have some youngster or acquaintance that is acting as the family sysadmin with ongoing maintenance. Not only that, you are assuming that these "advanced" users will get things right, when more often than not they don't get it right. "Advanced" users doing stuff for inexperienced users might be a phenomena amongst a very limited number of security forum members families and friends, but it is not a wider user-land trend. The impression I get from reading some of the posts here is 16 year olds doing stuff on mummy and daddy's systems or trying to do it for grandma only to have her so confused she cannot use the security or the system. Grandpa is pretty smart. He just stays away from all of it. Ask [USER=51905]@Evjl's Rain[/USER] about his experience with all of this. [/QUOTE]
