DESCRIPTION:*Abstract:*\nInternet users face large numbers of security war
 nings\, which they mostly ignore. To improve risk communication\, warnings
  must be fewer but better. We report an experiment on whether compliance c
 an be increased by using some of the social-psychological techniques the s
 cammers themselves use\, namely appeal to authority\, social compliance\, 
 concrete threats and vague threats. We also investigated whether users tur
 ned off browser malware warnings (or would have\, had they known how).\n\n

 s been focusing lately on Internet fraud and the psychological mechanisms 
 that are enabling it. More on: http://david.rodbina.org
