[QUOTE="piperbarb, post: 197312, member: 12214"] I use a Mac, and also use Linux on my other laptop. Never had a virus problem, but I do use ClamAV one a month and have it check everything. Also, when I was still running Windows at home, I never had a problem with viruses, malware, trojans, etc. It's called safe computing. :) Spousal Unit's computer running WinXP SP3 got infected with a virus and all sorts of whacked out malware when he went to the Web site of a well-known Christian organization. The next time he used the browser on his computer, it popped up about 100 separate browser windows of porn and porn sites. It seems the Web site had been hacked. We laughed so hard. :) It took me a few hours to clean up his computer, but it has never happened again. He is much more careful about what Web sites he goes to now. [/QUOTE]
