How about both?: Michael Kelly posted....

"How about both?

The insecurity of the software and the maliciousness of the virus writer should share equal blame in this. I agree with your comment that enough is enough with regards to inherently insecure software, but that does not excuse the actions of the virus writer."

Well said, Mr. Kelly! I couldn't agree more. It's rare to see such cogent analysis here.
