      whacks you with a rolled up newspaper NO. BAD.

      this is only true for users who understand good habits and bad habits, people who understand how their computer is vulnerable and how they are vulnerable, people that know what’s supposed to be on their computer and what it does and why. It’s not true for someone who doesn’t know what they don’t know, or who is only just starting to understand the scope of malware and phishing and other malicious activities.
