Eighty-four percent did not know that phishing describes faked e-mail scams.

I would consider myself to know a fair bit about protection for my computer, how to do it, what programs to use, which ports are most important and most sought after, I know how to prevent viruses, cure them and where to look for them, I have been doing this for years and yet it was only 4 days ago that I learnt what "Phishing" was, I highly doubt the average person will ever be protected, or have some know-how of how to do it.
I think PC retailers should have more security options when selling PC's, I know a few do (Dell offer antivirus software as extra, not a crappy OEM thing) but maybe they should "Suggest" to people that if if they don’t know enough about Protection, they should go and buy Zone alarm or something like that...
