Shame on you Apple!  doh.gif  blink.gif

How could you decide not to help your customers?
At least Microsoft provide support for their customers when it come to malware.

Looks like Apple to trying to "protect their no-virus image".

Lesson learn. Use common sense. Never assume. Stop buying Mac.  rclxm9.gif  rclxms.gif

Windows is cheaper, can play more games, provide support and have vast security setup up for free.

I only see butthurt peoples that are not using Mac bitching their way off here.

Whatever the case no OS is not vulnerable to vulnerability attacks and exploits. Period.

what makes you think that Linux is any better than the security of Mac and Windows?
Sure, up to this point, it's malware proof, but there's tons of Linux rootkit around.

To make a statement, use this OS instead of this OS because this OS is secure, is very naive, very very naive indeed.

Agreed.........every OS has its vulnerabilities. It depends whether someone willing to create a program to exploit that smile.gif

At least we learn here that technology will not make us stay safe on the internet. In the end, it is the user behavior that determines their own safety.
