Thanks for the suggestion. However, the people I'm talking about are
invariably on dial-up. That's one of the things that makes the whole
recovery process difficult when they do have a problem.
With that demographic being the majority of home computer users
(non-techie, dial-up, old hardware/software, etc.) I would think that
more people or companies would have encountered this situation and come
up with best practices on system protection and recovery after problems.
Instead what I see are the 1/3 of tech-saavy folks who take care of
themselves and the 2/3 of non-techie computer users that are frustrated
with their systems and end up providing the infected computers that
plague the rest of the folks.
