Security is not a Home User problem

Asking the home user to secure themselves is stupid. It is akin to having someone defend themselves in court without a lawyer. Sure, you are going to have that 1/2 percent do it effectively but the rest will fail. Security isn't something that Joe Average can do.

You have to leave security to the people with the resources and the know how. Banks are going to be far better equipped to handle security than home users. If the banks want home users to bank online because it saves money then the banks must provide the security.

Providing security software (free or not) does nothing for a home user if they have to manage it. If the home user manages it the security will take a huge hit.
