Security Garbage

by mrmacfixit Forum moderator May 11, 2006 9:12AM PDT

Recently there have been dire reports of increasing numbers of virus attacks on Mac OS X computers.
The most recent reports dealt with a "problem" that actually happened back in February and only, apparently, affected two or three people.

If all these stories are correct, and who would think that the Tech Press would be ignorant of the facts,
Is the Mac as vulnerable as Windows? I'm sure you Mac OS X users have plenty of OS X virus horror stories to tell. So, beguile us with your stories, all true, of course.

That the Anti virus market is declining.. since many people keep using Older program or a good Free program...

So, they will try to find other target market that is still wide open...

Since it is a business... anything looks green...
