> The number of vrsuies and spyware that I remove from the average person’s Windows computer is enough evidence for me.Of what? That users get fooled by social engineering attacks? Is that even news?> Most users don’t even have the latest patches installed, either.I very much doubt this, given that Windows defaults to automatic updates on XP SP2 and above. Even pirated copies receive automatic updates.> (unless you’re an expert)Or you have enough common sense to not be a victim of social engineering.> It’s clearly not just social engineering because that would be effective on all OSes.Well, then, what is it? The fact is that there hasn't been an unpatched exploit in ages. So what does that leave?Of course social engineering works across OSes. Are you saying that non-Windows users who aren't knowledgeable don't get 419 scammed or phished? Both are kinds of social engineering attacks, and enticing people to install XP Antivirus 2009 is yet another. The Windows market is targeted because that's where most of the suckers are, simply because it's larger.
