I agree.
To 1. Those moron who buy crap from pop-up ads and spam make it profitable for those who do that crap, and gets rest of Internet users suffer more junk pop-ups and spam.

To 4. Those idiots who cant keep their system updated and have an antivirus software on their computer should be shot, they shouldn't be allowed Internet access. They get their machines infected, then makes rest of us suffer.

And dumbs should also read about Netiquette, no CAPSLOCK!
