I'm always confused by the people who get bit by malware that requires you to bypass Gatekeeper.

Perhaps I'm just a privileged tech nerd, but when your OS goes 'THIS IS A BAD IDEA, YOU SHOULD THINK TWICE' perhaps uh, don't do that.

Maybe it's just a poor UI on the part of Apple that's not properly conveying there-be-dragons to users who don't quite get what they're doing?
