Yeah...I don't think I've ever actually done that, but I could see some blog post saying to.

I think an annoying truth that us Linux-users don't like to admit is that another large part of what makes linux "more secure" is that only technical people bother using it. My parents are both smart people, but aren't programmers or anything, and as a result didn't like Linux when I tried to get them to use it; if they did use Ubuntu it's entirely possible that they'd figure out how to get a virus pretty quickly.
