I don't know if people know but there is a very nasty virus that is going around for poor pooters. It does not affect macs so i am alright but it affects all you microsoft peeps and youcan catch it by viewing a site that is infected. It gets past firewalls and no email is needed for it to transmit.
if you have a windows pooter go to this address:
www.microsoft.com
and there you can download the patch to protect you pooter for free.

Originally posted by gambit3Apparently, some research carried out recently found about 25 security flaws in Mac OS X, a similar number in the popular varieties of Linux... and about 5000 in the latest version of windows. There certainly would be more Mac/Linux viruses and worms if they were more popular OSes, but not on the scale we're seeing with Windows.
When Mac rules I figure hackers will start Mac attacking. Blasted hackers. They are nothing more than vandals.

You mean that decrepid, whore-coloured, one-button-moused tragedy which is supposed to be arty?
Crap 'n' toss indeed! Shame on you.

Could you please explain when red, purple, orange, green, blue, and white became whore colored? Did I miss something?
The Mac?
