Now, I know a lot of Windows users. I realize that most computer admin
types
have real problems with trusting the general public with anything more
complicated than an Etch-A-Sketch, but I tend to believe that the general
public is a little smarter than that. All the home users I know have
personal firewalls, anti-virus software, etc.

Considering that something like over 80% of "general public" people run
their internet connection with no firewall and no virus protection, that's
interesting.

The vulnerable computers that I have seen are the office computers which
are
maintained by so-called professional administrators who have turned off
all
these protections for their own convenience.

Really? How many have you seen?
