I will never explain myself better than to just simply state that people are to inept in general to use computers, and the ones that think they know about computers and don't, cause most of the problems simply because they do things that they don't know how to. People who share their entire hard disks on kazaa, don't do so because kazaa doesn't thoroughly explain why and how not to share certain files but they don't bother to read anything in front of their faces. Those people should not use computers, at least beyond word processing. Most of them should not even be allowed to connect to the internet. The problem goes beyond computers though and it just shows the expanding incompetency people have in every day life. im not arguing that infected machines can be used in something like a ddos but my point was that people need to learn how to properly use their computer the same way they learn to do everything else.

Or do you think the bad guys are using dedicated machines in some server colocation park …that thinks a bit further and understands that those infected machines are the amunition in botnet attacks and other nasty stuff.

These are the same people who share their entire hard drive and then complain because they didn't read the fuckin manual. We live in a world where someone will always take advantage of an advertising medium, and I can't see the government FTC stomping on these companies anytime soon unless they can get significant money out of them. If you are to stupid to recognize spyware or malware, you shouldn't be doing it. If you can't tell a goldfish from a shark, don't stick your hand in the water. What i find much worse is the p2p networks, bittorrent mostly, that pay their bills, and pocket cash, through donations and advertisements on their site. They should be shot just the same as spyware companies. What's worse are these sites that make you pay and they "show you" how to download off p2p networks. The government quickly goes after free sites like suprnova.org but when it comes to suprnova.com, who probably makes millions of dollars off of it, they are still online and alive. who cares if people who are to dumb to recognize malware and spyware get infected through p2p services.
