Are all PC users cowards?

Well give me the money to buy one and I will !!!!!  My money gets spent on buying PS2's and Nintendo DS's and pc's for my kids rather than buying myself anything.

I highly endorse what Scott and Daniel said, but also like Goswin said, if you can muster up some geek courage you might also try a different operating system.  Try a Linux varient, several of them are really easy to install, load desktop environments by default and have decent compatibility with the hardware you're probably running.  And they don't bog down your computer.  Ubuntu and Red Hat both come to mind.

Does sitting in front of a PC for hours typing answers to questions put by people you don't know and don't much care about sound like a normal activity to you?\n\nIf it does, then they are as normal as you.  If not, then be careful! Be very very careful!

Reason #55,907 that I run http://pclinuxos.com  \n\nAll the 'drivers' resources are included, \n(except for a few braindead peripherals that only can be used with Microsoft), that penalize speed, and commit consumer fraud... \n\nand, all the "114,000 Microsoft Virus Definitions" are excluded!

Gee Came across your question. I would not be one too be Insulting. I have more fun trying to give real answers for the people that ask. So far on cyber space I find you will have a few Idiots that can get your Dander to fly. But after you have I think about it. All it is are words on a screen. The people who do the insults are short lived online they tend to be the Drunk punks that can not be that way in public. Due to their fear of being physically Harmed. Don't give up on the Fun you can have here. I know how to Get under the stupid peoples skin when I feel like having fun.

No I don't. Anyone that insults someone over the net for no good reason is a coward.\nI can't believe some of the things people say over the net, I've been on a chatroom and been told I was 'going to die' for example.

I detect bs here.  This question is thoughtful, correctly written, spelled and sounds innocent.  I'm guessing if you use lots of user names to ask questions you are trying to manipulate the system somehow.  I consider a sensible, worth-while question something the asker really wants to know.

I dont think thats an intelligent question.  Be careful about asking for hacking tips on a large forum like this.

Conrad,\nYou are asking how can we get users to become more resposible and take charge. \nThey are lazy.\nAs I have grown with this www, i have got a few nasties and sought out ways to eliminate the threat.\nI use all of the above, plus a few more.\nViruses have attempted to enter my system from Trusted Clients who have not upgraded their defenses.\nThe worst offender to date is Duke Energy form Charlotte, NC.\nThey just tell you it can't happen, and I have learned to accept only faxed or mailed job requirements/specifications from them when negotiating a contract.\nThis scenario only goes to show that Viruses/Spyware can come from any place. \nAgain,  thank you for posting a question in a way that hopefully will awaken at least one other user and take responsibility, letting others save time with scans, etc.

I have no clue.  There is a mix of people on the net and some feel that since they are behind a computer screen they can be anything that they want. Just like my space.  I'm not saying everyone on the net is a bad person but it is too hard to weed out the good from the bad.  my opinion is take everything everyone says lightly and don't trust anyone. They don't know you and you don't know them so who cares what they think.

I work in IT and we support all the pc's, phones, printers etc.  Without us, companies would be at a standstill. Not to mention most users are pretty useless trying to do even the most mundane tasks! Secretary's that don't know how to use Word and Excel. People don't know how to clear printer jams,etc! It's amazing how tech limited some people are~A note to Bess, Rebooting clears a myriad of problems. More than you can imagine.  But it depends on the problem. We don't say that for EVERYTHING!

I think the generalization comes from this site.  We are all incognito behind our computer screens and that makes some people feel invincible.  I have been sent hate email and hate posts and even had a question posed about what an ugly liberal lesbian I am (I can take it in stride, though, I know who I am).  In the grander scheme of things, I don't think that Conservatives are hateful.  I simply disagree with their ideals.  On this site, however, if one disagrees, one must prepare for the onslaught of name calling and anger and hate.

i would like to (respectfully) disagree with the poster above. in my experience (diablo 2 and battle.net, mainly) the stupidest people try to use keyloggers, most often because somebody else did it to them and they don't want to feel stupid so they try to catch somebody else.
