I think it's unfair to mock the typical user, the 90% in the survey, by making them out to be ignorant folks. You say that they rely on Microsoft, the government and their IT department to prevent the virus attacks. In reality, if Microsoft and their IT departments were to do their jobs well, the end user would never have to worry about viruses.

Perhaps part of the IT department's job should be education. If a user does not realize that they are part of the problem, or if they don't know how to do their part, then I don't see how you can blame them.
