"They"?? Who's they? Not only did you start a new paragraph here and not
allude to whom "they" refers to.. you were'nt smart enough to realize no
one installs a trojan on anothers machine they way you talk about it.

"They" if you mean "Malicious hackers" don't "Install" Anything.
Usually, when a virus or a trojan is spread it is clicked on by the user
or IE / Outlook execute it automatically - like from Active X or
javascript. Lately, even looking at a picture file. There are no other
people sitting there installing it on someone elses computer. Do others
"learn" you too Debbie?

How do you expect to sell a loaded line of BS full of half truths if you
can't even write like a proper author with good grammar skills?

BTW - the virus or trojan can make your av not pay attention to it and
ignore it. It does not necessairly "disalbe" it. Have you read up on
heuristic anti viruses and signature viruses?

Evidentally you might not, but the general public probabally would in
comparison to you Debbie.

uhh WTF? That made no sense. Even Spyware and Adware can create its own
proxy or alter a winsock. Are you comparing "they" to the makers of
Adware and Spyware now?

Umm.. if all those files were emables by default, you would have people
delteing mportant files left and right because these people would listen
to half baked truths like yours and delte imprtant files. Are you trying
  to GET people to break their computers??? Do you know what the stats
are of people with win95 and 3.1 randomly deleting files and having to
have Windows reisntalled (and losing important information along with it)??

Well, that would be the point of enabling the viewing of hidden and
system files, wouldn't it? oh ya... DOH!

That is a given.. again DOH!

Sigh Tracker. You seem to WANT to lead people to destruction, not keep
people from destructing.
