Most of them. The general non-technical public thinks computers are smart so what the computer asks to do must be good. It’s that whole “sufficient level of technology is indistinguishable from magic” thing, non-tech people pretty much think computers are magic, they don’t understand them, they think they can’t understand them, they’re not going to try to understand them, and so they click “yes” a lot.

so this mac defender is downloded on to my puter and I can’t seem to get rid of it. I’ve been browsing the net and already two sex sites have randomly appeared with no clicking. I’m being told that the system is infected but must purchase this mac defender to clean it up. I’m obviously not going to buy it but
I’ve no idea what to do?
Help!
