As do a lot of subjective, misinformed, erroneous opinions.

'Average user'? That's a loaded, arbitrary term that could be applied
to just about anyone, depending on who's doing the interpretating.

The every day home user who is more interested in downloading music,
browsing any website that seems attractive or pornorgaphy. Everyone
who doesn't practise safe-hex. Need I explain anymore?

A post that's beautiful for its simplicity.
I don't necessarily see the purpose for eschewing a resident
anti-spyware program, since there are many free choices. I agree that
they aren't completely necessary, but feel that they're (avast
atleast) worth the bother to avoid the larger bother of checking
attachments via an online scanner.
I'd like to hear more about your reason for avoiding one.

He wasn't referring just to resident antispyware. He also referred to
antivirus. This is grossly misleading and a lot of bs.

Hey pixi,
PC World likes Sunbelt Software's CounterSpy and Webroot Software's Spy
Sweeper. They noted that Microsoft's new beta looks good also. Here's
their reviews of several popular anti-spyware proggies:

And, has been noted, more than one 'caint hoit'. ;-)

For myself, it's because I don't really need a resident, active
anti-virus scanner for email attachments. I receive very few emails
with attachments from known, trusted, sources; as for unknown emails
w/attachments, which I receive plenty of, they just get chucked
(deleted).
The unknown emails w/attachments I receive are, without exception,
loaded with malware installers.
