Re: Its quite depressing really

Computing is still in its infancy.

We have only (relatively) recently started accepting that malicious stuff will run on our computers (invited in by making the web able to run stuff locally). We used to think it was the exception that malicious code ran, whereas now it's the norm.

Most security still stems from only running stuff from trusted sources. The main security holes are "run everything" platforms such as browsers and Flash.
