It may need an awful lot more.  A work computer might only be used to
type letters to clients, and run the jobs database.  A home computer is
rarely so specialised.  It might be used for banking, browsing random
websites (where users just go around clicking on anything), regularly
visiting outright hostile or just badly written websites, running all
sorts of software, having random discs inserted into it.  All of which
adds up to a more risky situation.

Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.  I
read messages from the public lists.
