Guarding users against their own lack of knowledge (the word
"stupidity" is unnecessarily pejorative; we have brilliant
accountants and salespeople here who simply don't specialize
in computers) is part of the system administrator's job. Not
every person who uses a computer can be a malware expert, any
more than every driver can be a skilled mechanic.
