Check my posts, I didn't blame the victim. What I said are two things: One, this particular virus can be easily avoided by disable macro. Nothing panic. Two, there are a lot of other ways to do the similar damage if users are not careful. So the best way is educating yourself. I guess every car sold should have a label. "This car may cause your death." Every food should have a label, "This may cause you choke."

[OT] Hi Thure, Since you brought up cigarettes... I'm unhappy that Phillip Morris lost that $81 million because a 40-year smoker died of lung cancer. Sorry, but I do blame the victim, being that "the warning is right on the label," and that everyone otherwise knows all about the problems smoking eventually causes. So anyway, in smoking cases I do blame the victim. I'm interested to understand the other side of the story--why some people say that it's not the victim fault. Do you mind helping me? Thanks, -Sal
