I disagree
Sometimes people only want a computer to do a particular thing and they are told they need to do this and that to secure it. They don't necessarily understand what Anti-viruses and firewall are let alone the concept of backing up, simply because they are not technically minded.

So if a user is simply not technically minded should then simply not use the computer at all?

The computer is an increasingly important device to access to as we all know but you need to understand most types of users and not all are capable of fully understanding the risk of the web.

This, I believe, is a step in the right direction (similar when windows added a built-in firewall). It won't be perfect but it'll add a little help for those users who don't understand.

p.s. for those who want to flame me for this comment can do freely as I won't be answering!
