"Windows Messenger Alert spam. Wasn't that pretty much outdated"

I still see this and many more attacks that are perfectly preventable.

"actual clicking behavioural pattern"

I've seen ads on major download websites with 'Your computer is infected' warnings. Often these adverts appear to be the actual download button for the effective software I was looking for. I'm not talking about junk sites here, it's the big mirror sites that are helping to push this junk out.

No wonder average users get confused, half the time PC's are a guessing game for them anyway.

Still, it does bring me an income but my sense of morality would rather it doesn't exist.
