I think Manny, like the majority of computer users, is not using his
computer for life and death situations and if he was he would be
bringing in the big guns to install hardware and software security
solutions.
Also he would be doing regular backups and not opening attachments
indiscriminately or allowing sharing without high security in place.
Look at the large corps that were bit in the a$$.....usually because
someone in the lower echelons did not follow company policy of the
aforementioned items or was careless when it came to password
integrity.
