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.

is it possible to catch a virus on a 3.5inch floppy or only on a hard drive?

i am not sure i guess so if you place it in an infected machine then into your own. but you can get it from the net. the download is free and it is better safe than sorry

all a virus is is a program hidden in your computer...so, if you can find it, yup...i'm not sure if it's that simple anymore-but it used to be...(my computing teacher made my class attend a christmas lecture on viruses, worms and torjans...so i know a bit...but i didn't take much in 😛)

I heard that floppy disk viruses are virtually extinct nowadays because people don't write them. Since network-transmitted viruses can be spread much more easily, virus creators write those instead.

The total superiority and dominance of the Mac is demonstrated once again. But still the unenlightened masses cling to their virus ridden, and frightfully ugly Windows machines. The day will yet come when Macs will rule the world!

Solidarity, comrade!

When Mac rules I figure hackers will start Mac attacking. Blasted hackers. They are nothing more than vandals.

Apparently, 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.

The Mac?
You mean that decrepid, whore-coloured, one-button-moused tragedy which is supposed to be arty?

Crap 'n' toss indeed! Shame on you.

That tragedy is a dream where I come from. School funding is so low we have to share 60 computers with the elementary school, high school, and middle school (900 kids). The internet is always down here. Our computer games are made by a bunch of gay wads (tellitubies' adventures). Could you please explain when red, purple, orange, green, blue, and white became whore colored? Did I miss something?
