The only aspect of the OP discussion was the mention of the 'address book of
the user' implying desired access to the desktop. IMO simply talking crazy
about firewalls and viruses does nothing for a neophyte unless such talk is
put into context which you failed to do in the slighhtest.

Given the choice to work with the right consultant the OP could achieve that
objective.

There are social networks developing where many users actually volunteer to
make their address books available. So providing access to an address book
on the desktop is a matter of how it is done that warrants a discussion --
not scary talk about firewalls and viruses.
