So untrue, actually. Sure, there are lots of "exploits" discovered and invented for Windows on a daily basis, but that has no correlation to actual infection rates. I've run WindowsXP and Vista without virus protection for years and I have no problems... then again, I don't download or install things if I don't know what it is or what it will do. Sometimes that means telling a friend "No, I won't click on your 'vacation-pictures.exe' email attachment" but so be it. Plenty of exploits are available for the Mac and they work exactly the same as on Windows: you convince the user grant permission to a malicious program to do what it wants. Windows just generally make this activity easier than on a Mac, but then Windows is generally easier to use than a Mac anyway... it's both a blessing and a curse (depends on the program in question).
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your opinion...
ReplyDeleteI am sure everyone has different views on which computer system is best. Personally, having used both PC's and Mac's, I prefer Mac's. I also happen to think their commercials are funny, however accurate or inaccurate they are, and in this case (having just lost quite a bit of data due to a virus -- even though I too am very careful on what I open/download AND had a great anti-virus program which was up to date) I can particularly relate. =)
