Man, you know Apple Macintosh is the most secure, or the government wouldn’t use it. Once you go Mac, you never go back, and if you do... you’re lost in the head. lol
Yes, I agree! I have Virus Barrier for my Macbook Pro in OS X Tiger, and I have been upset, because not a single virus has been found. It’s a total waste of $75 to even buy anti-virus for a Macintosh computer. Hackers just do not wish to take the time to write viruses for a set of computers that only take up about 5% of the population. They also have a difficult time writing them when they try, because you just can’t get around the stability of a UNIX based OS like OS X Tiger.
No, I don’t think so. Some of us Mac users have Virus Barrier anti-virus on our Macs, and one day I’ll get to see it nuke a virus on this Intel Macbook Pro. I look forward to it, but you just can’t get around the stability of a UNIX OS. Sometimes, I have to boot up Parallels with XP just to remember what it feels like to get infected. Then, I just clean it up. Makes me appreciate the OS X Tiger experience even more.
