This is exactly my point the fault is not of the OS it is a failing of the end user they ignore basic security in not allowing changes or installing software that they have not instigated or do not have knowledge of where the software has come from. Even windows can be kept secure with proper end user caution although it is more difficult to keep free from infection the user must be much more aware of what is happening. You say that they don't know what is right or wrong when clicking through warning messages I thought just the words Warning Messages should be sufficient to give the user pause
