[macvoiceover] Re: anti virous

HiDan,

Rereading your response below, I'd say that you are prepared well into the 
future.  I use my system flat out.  I do concess by not having downloads 
open automatically, but that is because I don't want stuff splattered all 
over my hard drive.  When someone demonstrates a real threat that happens 
like they do by the millions on windows as easy as a click I'll do 
something.  I also concess by killing the preview payne, but that is because 
for me it's a pain.

Hello,
I read the article. Quite honestly, that article doesn't bother me at
all.
1. I always manually decide wether or not to open downloads. I never
let the computer do it automatically.
Secondly, I always use passwords.
Furthermore, in most of my work, I use another account other than the
system admin.
Also, I use filevault as well.
I have never had any problems.
Also, I ran several demos over the last few months, just for the heck
of it. I never found anything that would cause me to give my good
money away.
Now, there may come a day when it is necessary to do all the stuff one
has been forced to do in Windows, but I seriously doubt if that day
has come at this point in time.
That's the way I see it. Of course you're entitled to your opinions
and that's how it should be.
Just my thoughts.
