Human Nature vs. Security

Social engineering in the latest crop of viruses has people jumping through hoops to open malicious attachments. How do we change the pattern?

Most average users ARE morons!! Why do people touch the bench that has a sign that says "wet paint"? Why would someone jaywalk on a busy downtown street? If the "average" user can be fooled into believing that a naked Britney Spears will appear on their screen if they open an attachment, they should be removed from the gene pool (or at least have the computer taken away from them). Every damned day, people complain to me that they got hit with this virus or that worm and that they should have listened to me. I'm getting tired of it. How many times should they be told before you're allowed to bang them over the head with the keyboard or strangle them with the mouse?
