Hi bob3160,
Geeks or no geeks, it seems general security awareness is at an ever low ebb to-day. As you said it right, bob3160, the common user isn't interested that much. However some parties could do a much better job.. Education is where to start - we let toddlers have a smartphone or tablet very early in life. They can work it before they have even learnt to ride a little bike.
But we have also to eduate others. Users to better protect themselves and website owners and hosters and server- and CMS-admins to better implement with security at heart. Our modern society as a whole and our very cybersecurity depends on it.
We should not want to tolerate insecure scripting anymore, not tolerate excessive header version info spreading to the world and hackers and attackers alike. No longer tolerate parties not to run latest updates and patches, configure the available header security in a way that is called best practices, not offer encryption from the weak end up, so cybercriminals and government entities can do their self-assigned deals.
Isn't there a better or more noble task for avast support, then to educate with security at heart for a safer and more secure internet. I like to be part of such a benevolent mission and has been in the past years thanks to Avast creating an opportunity to do so and add to user security. Yes and I am a proud Avast user and I have the best deals for Avast and Avast's friends at heart. Let us stand together and on the good side always.
