That is my thought exactly. I even a know a couple of fools who insist on running XP - it apparently lets them do everything they need. In my book, if your needs include any form of connectivity, you're pretty damn stupid to use an O/S that is no longer supported with security patches.
They then go on to say they've never had malware, to which my reply is usually that they've never had malware they were aware of. The worst malware doesn't wreck your system, it just quietly collects data.

Researchers have created a computer program that can detect lies, be it an email, dating profile or visa application. "Lies lies lies yeah (They're gonna get you)"
25% said they lie about how much they drink. Higher, or lower? Could @Michael-Martin actually be a secret tea-totaler?

70% accuracy? Well, that's a lie for starters! God help us all if they actually start using this in real life situations like visa applications where, let's face it, the only acceptable accuracy is 100%!

Or:
Every password you share unlocks every login screen it's been with?
