Unfortunately, the user *IS* the problem. Out of the box, XP SP2 is
more or less fully secure to sit on the internet, and once you turn on
automatic updates and run as a limited user, you're more or less secure
as well.

The problem is that users don't do that, they run attachments from
unknown/untrusted sources, install ActiveX controls at a whim, run as
full administrator, and then act surprised when their PC gets
compromised.
