Tell my Dad he's wrong....

In a recent study conducted by the Alladin Knowledge Systems of the top 2,000 known spyware threats, they found that 15 percent of spyware is actually stealing all the information typed on an infected computer.

According to the National Cyber Security Alliance 80 to 90 percent of desktops are infected with spyware. At 80 percent, that's 187.4 million Internet users affected by spyware. With 15 percent of those transmitting the information needed for identity theft, that's 26.7 million people in the U.S. alone transmitting their identities to international hackers and criminals.

Last year, there were approximately 10 million cases of identity theft in the U.S., resulting in losses of over $50 billion, of which spyware comprised only 5 percent ($2.5 billion)

Is that concise enough?

Shame on you Mr FatBoy Snr.

It only takes a few mins for an unprotected pc to pick a virus that could ruin your pc.

I find a condon over the mouse works quite well. Mind you, it is difficult to get the ball to work properly but I believe thats a common problem isn't it?

Just wait. The 'net will convince him. Just don't gloat too much when he comes down with a dose.

Tell him to practice 'Safe Surfing', I'm sure he's expected you to take his advice before about precautions ...........now its his turn.

He doesn't want a STV - 'surfing transmitted virus'
