I will open my case by saying that I know relatively little about computers. Yet I have never had a virus. Why? I exercise a little common sense. I don't share/network my hard drive directly. (If that makes any difference, I have no idea.) I don't open any third party programs or download dodgy stuff.

Most importantly, I don't look at a strange e-mail in my inbox from 'Slippery Susan' or whatever entitled 'I love you-click here for my phone number big boy' and think "Hmmmm, what a good idea! *click*"
I know very little about computers, I say again. I can spot this as a teesny-weensy bit suspicious however. Ya reckon?

Some people use computers efficiently and with good knowledge of the system. Yet they have still have no common sense and end up clicking on that attachment, opening that file or whatever.

I believe that opening up computer viruses has a lot to do with being able to spot when someone is trying to pull a fast one. Not how competent you are at operating the machine.
For example, you can be one of the best drivers in tha world but if you park your ferrari in a back street and forget to lock it I guarantee it'll be gone in 30 seconds.

Don't be a moron, don't open that e-mail, lock your car, don't get too drunk and fall asleep on the train home, missing your stop..... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/silly.gif" alt="" />
