I mean how many times Microsoft has sent out emails where they asked you to download some kind of tool bar? How many times eBay sending you email & asking to re enter your user information? How many times banks sending you email where they ask you to reEnter your online banking or VISA card information... ? & even if you really think that the email/webPage is not fake, how hard is to type the (main)web address to browser manually, like most big businesses ask you to do or make a simple call... I just can't understand why people are so ignorant, and we do not talk about kids, I mean adults. Ahh...
Would be wonderful if people should pas a simple test before they can access to internet, it shouldn't take longer then 15 minutes to learn main thing, what do NOT do. If only Microsoft would leave Outlook default settings to "HTML off" It (all this and some other small simple thing) would save billions every year.... Some companies invests hundreds of thousands dollars to the internet security every year... how about actually teaching that this is how the email works & this is how the internet works. & if ya see somewhere "ClickOnThisCoolFile.exe" that first thing what you should not do is click on that.
I have one hardware & two software based firewalls, I do not ever use Internet Explorer for surfing, all unneeded services was disabled, regular daily virus, spy ware & variability scanning. So my cafe was always clean & working good.
Because lot of (American) people was asking why I do not have AOL installed, I explained that AOL sucks a*s, so one day I was thinking... "How bad can it be?... it was bad long time ago, so i am almost sore that company of this size & technology should have OK software, why else people still singing up AOL v Comcast or all other ISP's...
I was SO wrong!
Whit two days, 60% of computers was infected whit spy & ad ware, spam, viruses... even if you close the software down, you still running 3-4 AOL services on background, i was ending up reinstall the windows from 0. Well, i know that all the spy ware was not installed BY AOL, but all this was coming trough AOL, why this people doesn't control what data users send & get? Why they based their browser to IE?? It's like installing backdoor to your network/pc.
If anyone can tel me what is the main reason why people still using AOL, or worst jet - why they sing up AOL v Comcast or any other ISP (like 3-5 reasons)?
