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

So you are saying that you don't want the world to be 100% virus/etc free because there are too many security professionals such as yourself that need jobs?

Isn't that like saying "Sure we could cure the common cold for good, but that would put too many doctors, insurance employees, drug manufactures, advertisers, etc, etc out of a job"?
