Social engineering trumps flaws? 2006-04-04

Quite frequently I am asked by friends, neighbors, relatives, and even people I have know idea hwo they are to ?fix? their aleing computer. Nine time out of Ten the computers problem is directly releated to user issues. These issues have to do with their click on any thing attitude that enevably results in a semi-intentional but unkowing infection of malware of some sort. All the patching, anti-virus software and spyware protection will not eliminate this problem. The user is the problem as a result they get a thirty minute lecture on ?Don't Click?.
