In time the MAC will start having issues. When you think about the % or MAC
users vs. PC users it just makes sense why hackers go after the PC's. As the
number of MAC users grow so will the number of attacks. 
The only reason I have some experience with malware and Trojans is because I
have kids and they make it their life's work to hose up all the computers in
the house. I have had my fare share of rebuilding and cleaning computers. I
have found running Sandboxie http://www.sandboxie.com/ very helpful in
almost eliminating all my malware and Trojan problems. If you don't care
about download speed and more concerned about security this might be an
option. The program opens a virtual machine and any Trojan or malware
attached to a website latches onto the virtual machine. When you close the
program it kills everything running on the virtual machine protecting your
computer. I have it running on the kids computers and have told them to live
with the slower speed and that I was done pulling all nighters to save MP3's
and photos of their friends.

 Odd since MACs and PCs are build from the same components?

Sigh - All this debate about the pro's and con's of Microsoft products.

I made the switch to Mac about 8 years ago and wouldn't go back to a  
PC unless I REALLY had to.

That said, sadly our engineering computers and accounts system are all  
PC's, they have to be because the majority have them.
However, our Marantz AOI uses Mac because PC's can't hack-it...hmmm.  
Sign of changing times?

I ? MyMac
