Need improved security layers and better apps
I think we need improved security layers all the way around. Make the OS, browser, applications more secure to begin with. Make the security settings easy to use and understand. Educate the user. With layers or protection, we will all be more secure.

Right now the blocker apps seem pretty bad. As someone in IT the TACO screen shot looks bad, let alone for someone who has little understanding of these things. I also went to the Ghostery web site and it has very little information. It shows Detect, Learn, Control and has a a download button but no information on how it works, how to configure it, what the next steps are etc. OK, I'm game, I click the download which just installs an IE plugin, no explanation. I poke around and didn't find any way to configure it, just that it's installed. I promptly uninstalled it. My issue is this is the app that was recommended and it tells you nothing. It seems like applications have a very long way to go before they are anywhere close to be ready for an end user.
