That is very true...nothing trumps stupid user tricks. When I love You made it's rounds, a guy in my department (we are supposed to know better) opened not only once, but twice...nuking all of the images on our server (luckily we had backups...I was at work till 1am that night restoring files grrrr). The worse thing about is there were several signs warning us about the virus. The front door, by the elevators, in the elevators, just outside the elevators on the wall across from them when you step out, and on the doors that led to each office section. Only a blind person could not see the info. Human stupidity never ceases to amaze me. For intelligent creatures, we sure can be total dumba**es hehehe.

I think that the changes that Microsoft have made in Vista are awesome, but they won't stop the Trojans that take advantage of security vulnerabilities. Unless you think that Vista won't have any security holes (yeah right). The average user that is prone to let their PC become a zombie doesn't apply patches. So the first big security hole that is exploited will spawn a whole batch Vista zombies. Hence why it's important to run antivirus.
