As long as it works, they think that it is OK?

I completely agree nihil. If you buy a pc and something goes wrong such as a virus attacking it, then it must be the fault of the computer manufacturer. I would love to teach basic computer security to people who know nothing about it and need some guidance, just got to get the piece of paper which will allow me to teach.
