Discuss: Think Your Mac Was Safe Did Ya
Posted: 5 months ago

 I hope this is not real. I own a MAC and I don't need this kind of trouble. This kind of thing is why I no longer run windows OS. Guess I better check my computer for this file. Thanks The Daddy for the heads up!

Even with recent virus scares, the mac is very secure.   It is no secret that hacking sites and some porn sites have multiple viruses on them.  Microsoft IE would suck these down infecting silently infecting your computer.  Limewire has had vulnerabilities in the past and probably should not be used.  IChat should only be used to communicate with people you already know.  Just because you have a mac does not mean you can throw caution out the door.

 Limewire is a cancer that no computer should have. hoZt is right on this one. You're safer with a Mac, but it's foolish to think that there aren't hackers out there who would love to get their filthy fingers into the more secure platform. Talk about your badge of honour...
