I'm pretty sure you know that you have above average knowledge about PCs. This makes you different from the average user.

Windows firewalls have that big problem, that most people have no idea what the messages are about. Most people that installed "RealDownload" or some other annoying program don't know how to remove it, maybe even don't know what it is. So when "RealDownload" tries to do something, and Zonealarm pops up about "Do you want RealDownload to do this and that", they just choose something or hit Enter. How on earth should they know?
