Most people don't get religion until they find they are mortal, e.g. the don't worry about security until they have a serious virus/malware infection that deprives them of their computer for a few days and or costs them money to have fixed.
Hi bob3160,
Completely agree with your analysis. We here became aware why we should update and patch, but the majority of users never ever consider to...totally ignorant bunch. Sounds dramatic and alarming to us, but we are a tiny minority and these are the facts... 
Hopefully we converted Ddm5 now while he visited these here forums...

I guess you could say that David, luckily torrenting actually saved me, twice, but more to the point, as polonus said I guess you could say I'm converted, I update all my things, do AV scans, use appropriate security software, etc, during the time I had that virus I knew something dodgy was going on, so I found the source, but as I said, I got off luckily with having Win7 and Win xp disks at the ready, whenever needed, these days paired with a dban disk. So yea..
