A better way would be to educate users on the follies of their actions and not to trust any attachment that comes to them from unfamiliar people and to even be wary of those that do.

Of course, the ultimate would be to get everyone off of Windows because of the BS that you purchase along with it and throw them on Linux, BSD or anything else that can't be easily thwarted.

Then again, with idiots like those at Microsoft striking down law after law that could help (see Oregon) in creating a more secure networking environment, the likelihood of regular users actually learning anything useful becomes slimmer and slimmer.

I, for one, am not surprised at all by this.
