Most readers of this kind of forum will have fewer problems with viruses and so forth. Why? Because most of us already follow best practices on the Web. Not so for the average computer user. My wife doesn't want to know anything about computers; she just wants to go online. So the other day, she clicked on a link and up came one of those "your [Windows] computer is infected" pop-ups. She thought it was real. But we use Ubuntu, and it was fake.

ZDNet is right to warn Windows users. But they should point out that the threat only applies to Windows.
