HAHAHAH!!!

Did you READ the article before you posted it?

here are some notable quotables:

"Another big problem Mac users don't think about is that they make perfect incubators for Windows viruses," said Chapman.

"A Mac user can get a virus from a Windows machine that won't affect them but, if it's attached to a document or a file, then they can pass it on to another Windows machine."

HAHAHAHAHHAAHAAH!!! Why? Because the viruses DONT AFECT THE MAC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"Obviously there are more PC-only viruses out there, but there are still over 7,000 macro viruses which can hit either Mac or PC platforms."

Thank god many mac users don't use word!

Finaly:

"Any platform with a flaw is a target, says Symantec"

The article is pened by a fucking company making anti-virus software for both PC and MAC, and guess what, the Mac version hardly sells! Because Mac virii are no wear near as many, or as potent as PC virii.

Furthermore, NO VIRII FOR OS X!!!

Suck that down your pipe shit monkey.

Goodbye.

EDIT:

Are Mac's immune? certainly not. Is windows more vulnerable? YES!

Are virii easyer to write and spread on windows? YES!

Are there more for windows? YES!

And don't give me shit about there being more due to popularity, it's EASY to make them for windows. And for dopes using LookoutExpress it's even easier.

Another Windoze "OS" loser in the forums. How far is this gonna go? Before one of the responsible moderators in this forum closes this thread, I'd like to say a few things to this asshole.

Firstly, you pathetic mongoloid excuse for computer user, try (if you have enough brains for such a higly complicated function) to learn a few more things about the Open Source community, before coming here.

Secondly, don't try to convince any of us about what a company that wipes M$'s ass claims. Who the fuck cares? A vulnerability of any kind in an Open source program, is usually fixed in a matter of days or months the most (which I higly doubt)!

Last but not least, since I've given you enough credit already, FUCK OFF  :mad:

You seem very excitable.  Why don't you take some caffeinated penguin pills and have a lie down?  Maybe you can't take it when someone critisizes the platform that you and so many Mac users so militantly defend.  Considering the Mac has only 5 percent of the market, it is a wonder Mac viruses get spread around at all.

PS I never get viruses on my PC; I run Windows update often and don't open strange attachments in Outlook, which I also keep updated... geeze you guys think we windows folk are stupid and never patch our computers?  Only a moron would get a virus these days.

Im leaving this thread open. Forums are slow, and flames are good for a laugh. Especially at trolls like this.

besides, maybe something good will come from it all  :D
