That's a rather rude thing to say.
The way most viruses and trojans propagate nowadays is so-called
social engineering: asking non-techie users to install or authorize
something (Active X component or such), and use the fact that they
have no idea what this is about to get them to think this something is
legitimate.

Yes, of course security measures must be designed cleverly enough not
to get into the user's way.
