No. They are for communicating. And I am helping by communicating
that much of the spyware problem is caused by fools infecting their
own computers.

Perhaps it would be better to say "hapless, unknowing users" rather
than "fools", although, technically, you're correct; to not educate
yourself is foolish. It's not like spyware, viruses, etc. haven't
made the evening news or anything.

Brilliant. Both of you.

You make fun of people, because they're not as computer knowledgeable
as you, then you wonder why they don't ask question to *become* more
knowledgeable.

I'd say, *you're* the fools.

There are very few noobs left in the English-speaking world, so anyone
that is still getting their computer infected with spyware can't fall
back on "I'm just a noob" defense, especially the self-proffessed
"high-level pro" of an OP. And being as computer knowledgeable as me is
hardly all that necessary. All it takes is some common sense.
