It's truely amazing how bad it is right now. I used to help people around my neighborhood and almost everytime someone had a problem with a virus... of course they had no firewall or antivirus. The sad thing is half of them had a router/firewall but never used it because " they didn't feel like setting it up "

. I would plug it in, reinstall windows and walk away

Of course everyone just needs that 1 special program that only runs on windows or they just don't want to learn anything new, so they will never switch to Macs or Linux
