Think your PC is safe online? Think again

These results startled me. Check this out, according to a recent survey of Internet users by AOL and "the National Cyber Security Alliance":
--More than 50 percent of Internet users' PCs have no anti-virus protection or have not updated it in the last week.
--50 percent don't have a properly configured firewall; and
--40 percent do not have any form of spyware protection.
In total, the study found that 81 percent of the respondants' home PCs were not secure. Yet 83 percent of those surveyed somehow concluded that their PCs' were "safe from threats". Link
