Great points, Wilber.

You got to the heart of the problem.

to get infected. How is it a "flaw" if the stupid shit clicked "Yes" on a Security
Warning popup.

Installing 47 third party browsers isn't going to stop a fool from clicking things
they shouldn't be clicking. You don't need to install anything just pay attention
to the Security Warning popups when they occur. M$ put the Security Warning
popup within IE to warn you when a site is trying to install something on you.

Just click "No" like your suppose to do and you'll avoid any virus like that and spyware.
