Story: Forget Bagle, the real threat is home users
Posted by: David Masters (Thursday 29 January 2004, 1:35 AM)
It's time this industry woke up to the real needs of its users. Clearly it is not practical to expect home-users to educate themselves. What they need is a simpler solution. What SHOULD be happening is ISP's should be developing more secure environments for their customers (who, after all, ultimately pay their bills!). The first ISP to offer genuine VIRUS FREE computing for its subscribers in a SIMPLE way will clean up (as Google did with searching). So come on guys, stop wasting everybody's time developing pointless Flash movies, 3D graphics, websites that take minutes to load on 56k modems, or don't load properly on anything other than IE....shall I go on? Keep it simple. Keep it secure. No-one is going to keep paying you unless you WAKE UP AND START LOOKING AFTER YOUR CUSTOMERS.
