Are you joking?
The real responsibility lies in computer & software makers! Computers are so complicated, how can you expect the average user to understand all their sublties?
I am a computer professional, so I know how to protecte myself, but you can't expect that kind of knowledge for users, it would be the same as requiring car drivers to be trained mechanics...
Seriously, yes, there is a lack of formation, but look at how computers are sold: "it's easy, don't worry", what a LIE!
Blaming worms and virii on users (especially home users) is unfair.
