I am not happy about this but the smug Mac users are starting to get the same things and worse that we pc users have already delt with. Not to mention I had to put I Tunes on my PC and its not all that great. Their claim of superior engineering bites the dust. If you try to stop a service in the tunes it can crash the computer. We have a Mac at church and the configuration is easier when it comes to presentations but honestly I dont find them that great.


Fast-growing Flashback Botnet Includes Over 600,000 Macs, Malware Experts Say

Flashback, a Mac Trojan horse that’s been in the public eye since it was uncovered by security firm Intego last year, has a new trick up its sleeve: It can now infect your computer from little more than a visit to a website.

I switched to Mac about 3 years ago and still glad I did.. I haven't had any problems, yet.. I've also run Intego a couple times and it has found nothing.. However, since Mac is now using some products that are used for PC problems have popped up at times and probably will at an increasing rate..
Over the years the PCs I had were a royal PITA, the little Macbook Pro has been nice..

The virus now attacking Mac is actually attacking Java[ a microsoft product] , but, Apple has come up with a 'patch' to fix this possible problem.. Just download the update if it hasn't done so automatically..

Java is Sun/Oracle... PeeCees are good if you keep them patched, that's
the secret to all of them...
