I am a "Technologist", a Technology enthusiast that is usually the one that is called should a major catastrophe strike an end user. My saga of computer rescues becomes a plot that is ever so thickening, if not only for the fact that's it's becoming incredibly easy for hackers and malicious code writers these days to invade personal property to find, seek, and destroy. Each year, virus and hacker threats increase, and in addition the damage trail left behind is something of a problem. Not to forget, a majority of "PC Panic" cases I've come across are often times the same common, "major" problem.

I disagree with you, anonymous. A virus is something that can only enter your system through a lack of security in other areas, or through a lack of brains in the user.
If you use a virus-sensitive operating system then that's your problem, I too use windows sometimes, and I have *never* had a virus on it. Never. Do you know? Because I use my brain.
Surely my mailbox is probably filled with them, but my email client is smart enough not to randomly execute them, and so am I.
