Granted, this involves only 4 people that I know....
Each one has a Windows box, each so debilitated by viruses, that two of them are starting over and getting new computers and two have sent their computers in to be "fixed".
I gently tried to point out to them what insanity it was using a computer like that, but to no avail.
4 people, 4 computers useless. Imagine your Mac like that? We would have Steve Jobs head on a pike....

In denial of what? Sounds like something got to their system and they are having it fixed/corrected so that they can use it again.
There is always a better product out there than what one may be using, always...but some people are happy with what they have.

Some people cut themselves, puncture themselves with metal bits, eat okra, and stick foreign objects up their rectums for entertainment too..
There's just no explaining some pathological behaviors...

I have seen nasties on the Internet that can punch through multiple layers of security in Windows Boxes to infect the OS. Firewalls, AV, it does not matter. Just fork over the $$ to me to manually clean it up. A good business for my pocket book.

I don't think their in denial so much as they've been brainwashed into thinking, "all computers are vulnerable to these virii; therefore, it's inevitable & so we'll just have to deal with it."

Paul F- you need to try okra sliced very thin, breaded, and pan fried with a bit of vinegar in the oil. You can hardly tell that it's Okra.
But for gawd's sake don't use a Windows machine.

OK, OK... I've already had an email pointing how WRONG I am...
About the Okra, I mean...
I'm willing to accept that there MIGHT be ways to prepare Okra that doesn't leave it reminiscent of cooked banana slug complete with the slime...
But I'm NOT getting piercings, or sticking any sorts of objects up my rectum, OR using Windows on a regular basis! So there!

You sure we can't convince you? I mean, look at what they were able to do in Clockwork Orange.... :-)
