The same guards doesn't always pick up all the thieves, but if they do it's still for the better for your store.

You've actually made a really good point in your analogy. Unfortunately, I don't feel the need to treat my compy like it's a store. I
don't let everyone and everything into my computer, because I don't need to. If I were a corporation of some kind with myriad employees and customers accessing my databases on a consistent basis, I'd be all for watchdog software. Unfortunately, I'm not, I don't have the need to allow everything in, and I don't.
When I'm the only person using my computer, and I'm exercising intelligent usage habits, my need for that sort of thing is exponentially reduced.
