Hey Al;
Using things that a "highly used", are the programs these hackers work
on. That's why Microsoft is so porous.
I have never installed an anti-virus program on my Mac Laptop. Not sure
if there are many programs for Mac, besides Norton.. Just seems no one takes
the time to write virus for Mac...Hackers like "highly used" programs.
