That's a pretty big "if" there. Do you also fail to see a need for
developing a cure for AIDS, as there wouldn't be any need if sexually

The simple fact is that typical computer users DO do all the things that
allow their computers to become infected, and they're not going to learn
better any time soon. So the best we can do is install the computer
equivalent of a condom.
