This is what most users think, because they haven't yet had their identity, credit card and online banking details stolen. Losing the mp3s, family photos and pr0n is a bummer, but those things can actually hurt. In the bigger picture the important thing is that their computers won't become a part of a botnet. If the user account is not able to install bg services and rootkits or modify system files, the likelihood of the bad things happening is lowered dramatically.
