Subject: Don't be fooled into thinking Mac's don't require security software... Author: bcweir as bcweir750 : member since January, 2006 : 4653 posts Posted on: 2007-11-20 17:31:37

I should point out that it's becoming increasingly popular to install XP on the newer Intel-based Mac's. A Intel-based Mac is just as susceptible to a virus as a Windows based PC. Windows computers just have a much higher profile reputationwise. Expect that to change as more and more people purchase Macs to run both OS X and Windows XP.

Those who think it can't happen to them are usually the first ones to have it happened to.
