I agree. I've done this all the time.
I have my laptop secured from security threats, viruses, and hackers.

I SEE NO REASON for those who have never experienced with using Windows computers who can't install a virus scan/firewall/privacy service (I use McAfee Internet Security Suite), don't know how to use Windows Update (windowsupdate.microsoft.com), and don't know what s/he are doing over in the Internet! Of course, users who don't use the Internet properly of course doesn't know how to handle e-mails properly!

I think that when users don't know how to handle e-mails properly (and I would assume that users do get spam), some users might say to his/her mom (or to him/herself): "Look! I got an attachment!" And if a user opens an attachment, then a user might get a virus and his/her computer will automatically get infected and that is the way how users had handled the e-mails incorrectly!

So, users need to learn a lesson about computers (perhaps I could teach users how to use the computer, the Internet, e-mails, etc.). So, to prevent this from happening, I would suggest computer users to go to computer school to learn how to properly use a computer. However, I may be afraid that this will not work because if users don't use the computer properly, then oh, boy -- if this happens, then computer users should not use the Internet!

Just my 2?.
