Dumb users spread viruses

The 'nothing to do with me' mob are the major offenders, making up 90 per
cent of the 1,000 UK employees surveyed. This vast majority believe that
they have no part to play in preventing the spread of viruses, and that
it is the responsibility of the IT department, Microsoft or the government.

almost two thirds (60 per cent) aren't aware of even the most basic
virus-protection methods and one third claims to be too busy to bother -
even if they knew how.
