Hope you're not a PC
Ever notice that in the movies it's the good guys that always use Macs and the bad guys are usually on PC's?
Been using a Mac since the first iMac came out in the 90's and I cannot think of any virus problems that I've encountered. I'm on my 2nd iMac now and my friends are on their 3rd or 4th PC in the same timespan.
So what are you driving these days?

Re: Hi, I'm a Mac
I've never had a virus on my PC's... 3 deskies in 10 years and 3 lappies in 3 years (because I wanted bigger and better )... its amazing what being cautions can do

Re: Hi, I'm a Mac
It's not hard to prevent viruses (Though it can be costly). I have both an application layer firewall and a physical firewall which pretty much destroys any threats, and any virus that slips through there is killed by Mcafee. The average person does not know how to protect their network because they do not understand how vunerable it really is. Right now, I'm taking a class to become certified in Comp Tia's Network+ certification, and then Security+ next semester to teach me more Welp, off to best buy... time to pick up my Zune

Re: Hi, I'm a Mac
You watch to much TV commercials....
The Mac guy always wins, although there's a Mac virus around..
Good luck finding popular games and apps for Mac at a reasonable price..

Re: Hi, I'm a Mac
more viruses on PCs because they're more popular.. serious computer nerds use them, and gamers.. ever hear of a hardcore gamer using a mac?
