I've been reading this stuff for years, and I don't entirely discount it. However, I still don't personally know a single Mac user who's actually had any trouble with a virus, and virtually
every PC user I know has had to deal with something nasty. That's only anecdotal evidence of course, but the volumes do speak for themselves nonetheless.
That said, having an ego about owning a Mac is as obnoxious and pathetic as having an ego about owning any product.
BTY, for your free pc laptop (and I know I'd take one if somebody was offering!), I'd use the program Adam was recommending since he has a massive porn fetish
and a massive music fetish, and has probably downloaded every pc bug imaginable because of that.
Beware of "free anti-virus programs" that are actually designed to install adware and trojans on your computer. They are definitely out there and are often what makes people think they have something to begin with - you get a cookie triggered warning and it asks you to download the solution, but the solution is actually a root kit nightmare. Don't use
anything without at least googling reviews and/or warnings online.
And !@#$%! is right about cookies sometimes triggering warnings from tracking software too. You should clear out your cookies regardless, if you haven't already.
