Industry Roundtable: Experts Discuss Improving Online Security: Scientific American

Quote
The Dangerous Human Element
Users themselves can be the Achilles’ heel of security systems because of their propensities for error and their tendency (however unwittingly) to trade data safety for ease of use. As such, it falls to technology to compensate for the potential failings of users.

Just how many resources is this going to cost my PC?I bet there are only like a dozen hackers in the world but the everyone wants to make you believe there are hundreds of them so they can sell you antivirus software. I'd agree with the quote you had that most of the issue is the human factor. I think all companies should work more on the KISS (keep it SIMPLE stupid) principle and also educating the users more before dumping more RESOURCE hog apps on the machine.
