Re: Is there anything that actually gets users to fix their computers?

Daniel,

...

Short of turning off their network access, why won't users fix their computers when the computer is infected or needs a patch?

Hey, it's working! If it ain't broken ....

I doubt this. Recently, I worked with a couple of people that each had their PCs infected. Their own virtual neighborhood complained to them, and they surely were embaressed about the situation, but... They just did not know how to fix it, i.e. where to start. Call it cluelessness, call it lack of education.
