Americans 'misjudge online risks':
US computers users know more about Janet Jackson's breasts than about security software on their own PC. A survey found that 90% of those asked could remember when Ms Jackson suffered her "wardrobe malfunction". But only 60% recalled when they last updated anti-virus, firewall and operating system software on their PC. The survey, by a US security group, found people were getting more worried about computer security but some vastly under-estimated how at risk they were.
