Why is it that so many Mac uses try to convert Windows uses?....LOL.

Apple are way too expensive, dont half anything near the hardware available for PC uses and the software is naff anyway!. Itunes anyone, give me a break!

I would rather use Linux than Mac

I own & use a Mac which is immune to windows malware.


Games are not for teens. The average age of gamers now is in the mid 30s.

Macs may be immune to Windows malware but not to MAC malware.

There are about 14,000 applications for Mac all up including MS Office, Adobe design suite including the Macromedia part, FCP, Open Office, FireFox, Skype,ArchiCAD,Vector Works, Graphisoft,PowerCADD just to name a few . A lot of the 14,000 apps include free ware and share ware as well as paid for stuff. A lot of Mac users are currently waiting for the Universal Binary update of Adobe CS3.

Can you list a couple of examples of current Mac malware for OS X please?

521461 2007-02-02 09:04:00 hmm... to be quite honest, if i had loads of money, id get a mac, purely because of its BSD/Unix links, and its gonna be more stable than windows.
I'd have to have bootcamp though

How about some examples of current relevant Mac malware examples that haven't been patched by Apple that are in the wild and infecting users as opposed to a few individual lab rat examples?

Here is an interview with the world's richest PC fan spitting the dummy and throwing his toys out of the cot because the interviewer doesn't ask enough questions about Vista

Yes pctek, if I dig deep enough I will hit China, although I'm not sure because my geography isn't that great.
1) did you bother reading the whole article or did you just post google results.

You need an admin level user name and password or physical accessto install this
So I read that as somebody having physcal access or was given username and password.
2)You yourself have said not to believe anything the AV companys say. scare monguring.
3)proof of concept, well there is proof of concept I could win lotto WOO HOO
