Paul - So OSX has Trojans n Malware, but because its Virus-proof that makes it all better? So what's you view on Asbestos? It gives you cancer, but at least its Fire-proof eh?
They will avoid the question and call you names till they're blue in the face. They dont care that Macs are safer and easier to use, all they care about is having this argument where they can make themselves feel better.
In the end they are the losers, mac market share is rising almost faster than windows is falling. Goodbye to shitty computers.
I fail to see your point. Can you name 30 Windows viruses ? i like to think of myself as a poweruser yet i can't name 30 without googling. But to please you:
Actually Paul's sort of right - you'd be hard pressed to find thirty viruses for OS X. But then you'd be hard pressed to find thirty that have the remotest chance of affecting Vista either. Most malware is now trojans and the likes.
I've been running Vista for 2 years and the Win7 RC since it dropped without any virus protection without problem. Viruses aren't the problem, trojans, malware, worms, etc. They're the problem. Stay away from the porn and you're all good.
@ Paul , wtf?! "Somebody needs to tell these Anti-Virus companies about that. They should be out of business. " what?! because they are called anti viruses? thats your point?! ARE YOU SHITTING ME?! guess what numbnut, they have ANTI VIRUSES for OSX too... so what is your god damn point?!
I repeat again, maybe you will understand this time, there are no more viruses affecting PCs or Macs, all the threats today are worms, trojans and malware.

I thought you couldn't hack apple products.
apple love to lie... there are many things which apple claims to not have or has.. (viruses, problems, and so on..)
@Paul.
So what about the mobileMe exploit?
@Paul
Ok, so the MobileMe was exploited for Trojan.
This is a hole that can be exploited for a worm which is far worse than a virus.
Paul I hope that you don't think in your "perfect world" where Windows is the minority that nobody will create viruses for Apple.
There are few hacks on the iPhone because, like the Macs, no one really cares.

Thirty viruses, Paul? Somebody's insecure. If OSX is so amazing, we shouldn't be able to name one virus, should we?
@Paul
I guess I didn't make myself clear enough. It doesn't matter if a viruses can be written for the Mac or not.
NO. ONE. CARES.
@Flowah
I always feel sorry for the guys that Paul just so happens to respond to. I hope you unchecked the "e-mail when replies" box.
@ Paul , you failure of baboon...
There are no viruses anymore, viruses died a long time ago, all the risks since windows NT are Trojans and malware, update your brain to 2009 plz.
Dont bother paul.

It's not that we don't like Apple, Paul. We just don't like you.
