Yeah maybe not, I just wanted to make sure it was clean afer all this CF stuff happening.
Maybe I don't need to worry.
Despite these "flaws", there are far more problems with PC than Mac. This is the first thread in a long time here on CF where a Mac user was asking for help. And the OP's computer isn't even infected, he is looking for preventative measures.
When PC has roughly 10x as many idiot users, duh?
When PC has roughly 10x as many users, duh? Why would you create a virus that can infect the 15 macs on the planet when you can create the same thing to infect 15,000,000 PCs?
Fixed that for ya, brother.
Ahhh, the classic "user theory." While it holds some merit, the fact remains that when one of us smart Mac users have a problem, we don't need to run to a sports message board hoping to find answers.
PC has a thousand times more users, and only 10% more idiots? I'd say that's doing pretty well. Of the 100 people who care about Mac, 10 are idiots, and then of the millions that are PC fans, 11 are idiots?Fixed that for ya, brother.

Oooooooooooooh look at me! I paid more money for the same thing, I'm better than you! Plus I look cool and I'm being counter-cultural! :tongue:
Damn Flag Guy. I'd think you had a Mac.No, you run to an apple store to pay some "smart" person to fix it for you.
That doesn't fit a stereotype at all...

Thats like saying because people ask for dating adivise on a message board that all men are idiots - more people ask for PC help on a message board because more people USE PC's
I'm not trying to get into a ******* match. Just wanted to point out that Apple isn't some ultra-secure shining beacon of light on a dangerous Internet. MacOS X is more secure because Apple didn't build it. It's based on Unix, and Apple built a pretty front-end GUI around that. If you look at products that Apple has actually built (iTunes, Safari, etc.), that's where they have their flaws.
Sounds like a smackdown.Listen, brother. The OP asked for help finding anti-malware for his Mac. The first response was a sarcastic shot at Mac. Then. somebody posted a link describing the "flaws" of a Mac. The OP got 3 real responses, one from me. Yet here are the anti-Macs, ready to voice their anti-Mac agenda. With the same tired attacks. "Only 15 Macs in the world, blah blah blah." "You overpaid to be cool, blah, blah, blah."
So yes, at this point, on this forum, I will laugh at all you jealous PC idiots who can't afford a Mac because you are spending too much on virus scanners and removers.
