birdzman Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 (edited) I agree I lost two computers to virus's in three years. I switched to a Mac about two years ago and no protection and no issues. Edited December 16, 2011 by birdzman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Guy Posted December 16, 2011 Author Share Posted December 16, 2011 Yea Geek Squad said they might be able to recover my stuff. Gonna cost a nice shiney penny or two though. I here Macs don't have these problems cause ppl aren't righting viruses for them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donbryant993 Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 Macs do not typicallly have those issues because of the way the operating system is written. My entire household is mac and we all agree its the best decision weve made in a long long time. We wont consider another microsoft based product until they drastically change the way they design their products. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

technetium-99m Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 The IT guys at work say that the virus programmers haven't discovered women yet. I've always liked that explanation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham Smith Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 Firewall, anti-virus, anti-malware are now a must. Also consider programs like Sandboxie and Virtual box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
