It’s like a person who does not follow a Doctor’s perscription to take three tablets of antibiotics every day. The person doesn’t follow the doctor’s advice and then says it’s the doctor’s fault.

I believe that this is another case of where STUPIDITY IS IT’S OWN REWARD.

Some people are either to lazy to do the right thing and too quick to blame someone else for their own mistakes.

I belive it is the users fault also. However I worry about the legit ads and sites trying to “stay afloat” with the income they receive when ads are clicked. Many great freeware projects could lose out.

Good advice — and completely true. It’s asinine to blame MySpace: they’re only one of thousands of sites running the same ad. The bottom line is, it’s foolish to surf without protection. Blaming someone else for your own idiocy isn’t reasonable.

I agree. If you don’t patch your system and still click on ads, you deserve what you get. Maybe you’ll learn next time.

I fully agree with them, and the person who was first to comment.

Good advice. It’s amazing, these “malware” programs are released. The companies spend time and money to create patches, make automatic download of the patches, and STILL people won’t apply them! I can understand some corporate systems being cautious (they usually have other protective programs anyway), but not many companys use “MySpace”. Why people won’t apply the patches is beyond me!
