Yeah, you said it! I've heard people at school complaining, "Oh xxxx Anti-virus sucks, I just got a bunch of virus". I couldn't help but thinking, "well, either they haven't updated it in 3 years, or they went off and downloaded the latest songs off you know what".

Some people aren't educated about using firewalls, anti-virus software, and what not - and they get viruses.

Others think a good anti-virus/firewall package is magic and makes them invinsible from viruses and what - and they get viruses because either they don't bother to update, or they think they can go off and do stuff that would otherwise get them viruses for sure and not get the viruses (when they infact do get them).
