Survey: consumers don’t understand online security »

When the survery respondents had their computers scanned by the NCSA, the results indicated that 94% had anti-virus, only 55% had antispyware and 81% had a firewall – but only 64% had their firewall enabled!
Even worse – only 51% of anti-virus owners had their software totally up-to-date – the rest had outdated ‘antivirus definitions’ and other updates by month or more, resulting in very little real protection against the latest threats.
