A cousins machine without internet security had 47 spyware items and 5 viruses. Also it had been comprised by a remote user and had been sending thousands of e-mails hourly. When she bought the machine she wasn't offered any advice regarding internet security and not being remotely "techie" she was completely unaware of the risks of the internet. My point is that more eduction of computer users is essential in bringing these problems under control. PC vendors seem to assume their customers don't need to be warned!
