After all, "the IT department is taking care of all this and protecting my computer from infection. If it does get infected, they'll fix it for me". It would probably take a huge re-education effort. Then again, that's just my opinion. Good luck. Richard P. Larry wrote: > > We're talking about including that for our users here.
