Take a couple hours to reformat and install your software with a good fire wall.

Don't ever buy a mac, the only reason they are not full of viruses today is that so few own them, that hackers don't yet bother to write for them.
More than likly Mac will go away completly in ten years and even the hackers know it.

So you prefer to use PCs so that virus writers can have a vulnerable target... OK, if that floats your boat.

More than likly Mac will go away completly in ten years and even the hackers know it.

So it isn't worth buying a Mac to have TEN YEARS of peaceful computing and surfing, being ignored by those super prescient hackers who refuse to write viruses for it because they won't be effective after ten years... RIGHT! SURE!

The effective lifespan of most viruses is about two months...
