John Borland, a reporter for CNET News.com, made the mistake of loading some software on a Windows machine and hoping it was possible to restore the trustworthiness of a compromised Windows machine. In the end the CNET IT department took his computer away and re-installed a fresh image. http://news.com.com/2010-1032-5187106.html If even well-informed people do this, and can't fix their systems, what hope is there for the typical Internet user?

Running a big eyeball network for the past year+ has given me real insight to the end user that I didn't get at a NSP company. Give up on end-user education already as those that want to learn will seek out the knowledge and those that cause most of the problems don't care and absolutely don't want to know. It ain't gonna happen... scott
