And once again the you're punishing the victim. Let's not forget that the 
uneducated end user is tricked into doing things that are not good for 
them or the rest of the internet connected world.

Unfortunately the only feasible and readily available computer solution 
for the uneducated end user is a single available operating system. 
Everyone is at the mercy of this product with all its flaws and downfalls. 

Instead of continually blaming the uneducated end user how about providing 
tools to the uneducated end user that can be used to connect to the 
internet without becoming a liability. A toaster with keyboard an 
monitor...
