No kidding!
I read that bit and laughed! Maybe, instead of saving every email attachment to hard drive, double clicking on it, ignoring the warning that this executable came from an untrusted source, and then hoping that your antivirus will save you, why don't you just NOT run programs from untrusted sources? The most amazing one I saw actually required the user to enter an password in order to unzip the virus!!

I think the solution to the virus/worm/trojan/phishing problem with computers today is a sociological/educational one more than a technological one. I wonder how many people are running without any anti-virus (or laughably out of date signatures) and think that their computer acting slow/funny is just one of those gosh darned things that computers do?

Oops, gotta run. My aunt just sent me a neat program that tells me the time in the Ukraine. The cool thing is that dancing elves sing a nice song in the background. Can't wait to see it!
