the next day you get a reply from a parent of some script kid  "I use this
PC for business ..... dont know whats happening"
send reply "If you have portscan , crackers. BO Netbus etc on your system
then someone is using your PC unethically, you should uninstall these
applications otherwise your system has been compromised etc etc.."

How many people do you expect will know whether there are portscanners,
crackers, BO, or netbus running on their computers? Do you expect them to know
how to acertain whether these things run off their computers?

How clearly can you describe the procedures to these lay/lame- men that this
will work?
