    The real problem is that people haven't patched their software.

      Yes, I'm amazed at the number of people who don't do even the most basic things to try to protect themselves. I've seen people repeatedly reinfected because they just removed the worm but didn't apply any safeguards. No software or hardware catches everything, but at least the risk can be minimized.
