If only it were that simple, Hugh.
How many times have you received a warning message from an antivirus
program, such as "there has been an attempted change of XXXXX in your
Registry - accept or deny?"
Sometimes I know what to do. More often that not I'm stumped when I get that
message.
So, when you write "there's not much to worry about if you pay attention"
then I DO begin to worry. It means that I have to monitor the AV program
that's monitoring my computer, and that I have to make decisions that are
beyond my capabilities!
