First you open your system for everybody and then you complain about
that? How smart.

If you use IE (not possible on OS/2, we're lucky), maybe even with
ActiveX enabled or NS with JavaScript enabled the result is YOUR
problem. Don't blame the OS for using totally unsecure technologies.

Will you blame the OS if you download a program from an unknown
website only to discover that it's a virus? There is nothing more
unsecure than a user who always want's to have the
lastest-greatest-most-colorful!
