While finishing my news site browsing before bed, I got a pop up claiming Adobe. I tried to ignore it. Since I had an Adobe file open, I finally relented and agreed to install. BIG MISTAKE. It was a Trojan virus and is in the process of destroying my computer. Trojan.Win32.Generic.paklacobra I heard that Macs are better as far as viruses.

I hate to break it to you, but won't matter what operating system you choose, nor what computer hardware you run it on, if you allow yourself to be conned into downloading and installing a trojan virus, you will end up with a trojan virus.

A Virus does not rely on social engineering.
