Unfortunately there are a lot of them about and you cannot legislate 
against stupidity. Some MS products have a bad tendency to fall victim 
to buffer overrun attacks that are all too easy. Speed vs security you 
have to choose one or the other. It is a bit odd really since modern PCs 
are now way faster than most domestic end users will ever need. There 
are belated attempts to improve things in the more recent compilers and 
libraries but there is a heck of a lot of useful but insecure legacy 
code about. It only takes a well crafted malformed file to break them.

Disconnecting them from the internet completely would do that.
