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.
Dan

Good evening,
The following URL links to an interesting blog posting on Mac
viruses. It discusses two recently discovered viruses that are
installed with pirated Mac applications.

Given that there are no known viruses for the Mac I have always

Hi all, what kinds of choices do I have for anti virous
programs? are their
any free ones that work with VO? Or, don't I need one at all?
Tom K, who's getting his Mac mini Tuesday!
