The fact that there are people who know enough about computers not to get virusses or are just lucky doesn't make everyone who gets them an idiot who opens bad emails. Problems on the PC can happen without opening stupid emails they would happen to me every few months while I was playing WoW rigorously. 

Just writing off everyone who has troubles with viruses and spyware as being an idiot is honestly the stupidest thing anyone has said in this thread. 

Yer right I don't blame my car when I run into a fence, but what about when it just starts running strangely without any plausible reason?  Damn straight I'll blame the car then.


Well the fact that there are people who can't drive either doesn't free them of their reposnability of driving. If you get in a wreck you caused it's because you had a lapse in judgement or didn't know how to drive. It's the exact same principle with the PC and viruses. It just means you do not know how to use a PC well and that's that. You can't blame the PC for something you have done.I have been playing WoW since 2004 all the time and I have still yet to see a virus. Which proves my point exactly, it's your fault that you got your viruses not your PC's. Otherwise I would have seen all these viruses you seem to have been getting.

As for your car running strangely without any given reason, there probably is a reason and it is probably your fault too, you just didn't know it is. If you force it too much, drive it over holes without being careful, yeah it may have strange things which you think you didn't cause, but it's still your fault. Unless it was a manufacturing problem it is highly likely that you shouldn't be blaming your car, but yourself.


So the fact that I haven't studied up enough on PC's or cars to not run into these issues makes me an idiot?  Well I'll just go back to my simple console that luckily I can understand, hopefully someone will help me tie my shoes tomorrow morning so I don't trip over the shoe laces all day again.
