  1. Comment - Report: 1 Million Mac Switchers in 2005

    (Nov 8, 2005 - 6:50 PM)

    Thanks for the useful links; you proved my point: There are NO Macintosh OS X viruses.

    Three so called "concept" viruses created by a bunch of glory seeking lab rats like "MAC_MP3CONCEPT.A" that has not and cannot propagate is by definition NOT a virus. Get it?

    Too bad windows has over 50,000 real, self propagating viruses, trojans, etc.

    Maybe this will help to clarify things better for you:

    "In computer security technology, a virus is a self-replicating program that spreads by inserting copies of itself into other executable code or documents. " (Wikipedia) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_virus

    BTW, I stand corrected: Windows has over 50,000 viruses, trojans, etc. and counting.

    Heaven help you!

    Kramy said "A while ago Symantec designed a virus that could propagate through quicktime ..."

    Good for $ymantec and their shareholders (all 12 of them).

    They run a "protection racket" so sure from time to time they'll claim everyone needs their "protection". If they can name a single virus in the wild for Macintosh OS X, the world would love to know its name.

    BTW, please don't confuse Macintosh OS X with the older, discontinued OS 8 or OS 9; OS X is different!

    Please stop reading FUD and get FACTS. Please name any Macintosh OS X virus.

    And I don't mean $ymantec lab rats claiming they created one in a lab.

    Otherwise, let's move on.

    fewt said "I haven't switched, and here's why..."

    I haven't switched either and heres why: I've been using Macintosh since 1984 and am extremely happy with it.
