Honestly, I was there the first time round, when everyone raw dogged the internet on a single modem per PC. I remember Blaster, and talking people through removing it in 60 second bursts as their PCs shut down over and over.

It was carnage. The average user doesn't need open ports on the internet, and they'll only get their elderly machines infected instantly if they did.
