That's the attitude that lead to thousands upon thousands of idiots getting infected with the Blaster worm. The patch was out for a month or two before the vulnerability in question was exploited, but still tons of people didn't bother their arse visiting Windows Update, and when the virus spread nearly every computer-related message board on the net was flooded with "OMFG WHY IZ MY PC REBOOTING!!!!1".

Patch or die. eek:[/quote:4e4ce]

So, because I'm not as paranoid about updates as you are means I should
get easily infected ? I keep my A.V. up to date but I don't take outstanding
precautions like you do. The result ? I almost never get anything. In fact, it's
hard for me to remember the last time I had to revert to an old ghost.

Keep your shit to yourself. If the average pawns can't figure out how to use
a computer without resorting to extraordinary security measures, they should
stay away from pc's...
