They may, Azred, but doesn't that make everyone generally more vulnerable, having large portions of the population running their machines with loads of viruses puts everyone at greater risk?
I wonder how many people know what to do when their virus scanner is incapable of eliminating a virus. |

The term "virus" originated because those programs spread like biological diseases. We wouldn't let someone infected with smallpox walking around the shopping mall, so why let someone with the latest crud around on the Internet?

Most people I know of don't bother to put some kind of protection into their computer. My good friend who loves to visit interesting sites don't have any kind of protection. So I wonder what lurks inside his computer. When ask why he don't put those protection he said too bothersome, need to update always and it also make computer very slow. When ask if he not afraid of being hack. He said he got nothing to be hacked.

I'm fairly well informed and have anti-viurs/spyware programmes etc, know how to use them and can remove them my-self if need be. But i still get one or two every few months, so i think it would be difficult for those that are not as well informed, as more and more people are getting pcs and broadbad mainy for internet use, especially older people who have no grown up with the technology, so i do sympathise.
