Hi David
The Mac is free of viruses, as far as I know there's not a single in-
the-wild virus that affects OS X. Spyware is nonexistent as well, as
99% of the spyware out there relies specifically on holes in either
Windows itself or Internet Explorer to get in. There are anti-virus
programs for Mac, but you really don't need to run any.
OS X is able to start items at login. Go under System Preferences,
then accounts, then login items for the user you wish to add the item
for. For instance, if your user name is David, go under system prefs,
accounts, select David from the list, then select the login items tab.
There'll be a table there with all the current login items, and an add
and delete button.
I'm really glad you're going to give OS X another trial. An informed
opinion is the best kind.
hth, and ask all the questions you want on this list, that's what
we're here for.

Hi Everyone,
Ok, you guys have convinced me to give the Mac and voice-over more
of a go.
So for the next few months I will try and use nothing but my Mac
mini. This
means I shall abandon my VM Windows for the time being in order to
see what
the Mac with Voice over can really offer me which Windows doesn't
besides
reliability of course which I've already touched on.
With this in mind and I don't mean to start a flame or anything, is
the Mac
free from virus and spyware attacks and if not, what are the best
programs
to use to combat these pests? Also, is there a way to have the Mac
start a
program automatically at bootup in the same way Windows would start
up a
system service? For the person who wanted to know about nav keys in
the Mac
browser I understand these can be performed with the Vo+Command
+DesiredKey
E.G. Headings would be Vo+Command+h. Correct me if I'm wrong on this.
Thanks guys again for your help on the above
