Not really sure how a program can infect me unless I choose to install it.
This is my personal computer. It never leaves my house. No one else EVER
has access to it.
If I was worried about that I would set it up to require a password to
start the operating system.
I just don't see why I need to type in a 20 character password every
time I click on something.
If its to keep me from installing something accidentally I would just
rather click a yes or no button when it ask permission to install it.
