IMHO computer security is just like seat belts and door locks... they’re dependent upon the end consumer using them appropriately.

If a Mac user figures that his computer is completely safe right out of the box, he is less likely to use antivirus software, perform backups, password-protect his computer or other basic functions to keep his computer protected. 999 times out of 1000, he’ll be fine... the same way most of us would be fine driving to work every day without fastening our seatbelts or using turn signals.

I would agree to a point. Except in this case there are drivers out there looking to cause accidents.
