Hackers Making mincemeat out of anti-virus programs
 

one of the reason why i keep my net computer seperate from the rest of the pc's
if the net pc gets infected it's just a matter of a format then shove the clean ghost image on

Yep! I can't believe how some people network the fuck out of every computer they have then have me up all night trying to disinfect the fuckers.

We have Macs and PCs and the Macs never have any of those problems. I am about to get rid of the 2 PCs in my house and replace them with new Imacs

don't worry there has already been a few virii/worms made for the mac , wont be long until they become more widespread

Yeah sure. I have heard that before. The Mac OS is light years more stable and secure than Windows.

Have to agree on that. Mac's are way less prone to virus problems.

there are many ways to get in , just need to exploit one of the other programs that is bound to osx
while the kernal might be secure , there could be a flaw in a core library somewhere which can be used to escalate privileges

Bullshit. That like saying Yugos are safer because they get stolen less. They get stolen less because no wants to bother with them. Trust me if Macafites got their wet dream and Macs became a major player in the computer market then all kind of viruses and shit would be released upon them.

:thumbsup :thumbsup yup and a perfect example :)

I disagree. The Windows operating system has more holes than a Thai whore house. Sure there would be more Viruses uf the Mac was as popular as PCs but never as many because the Mac OS is a better OS.

My point is still valid. Macafites claims that is completely safe are bullshit. You admit that MORE virues would attack Macs if they were more popular. So why do Macafites want Macs to become more popular? So they can get more infections? That's pretty dumb in my book. Vista is coming out and you can't say whether or not the Mac OS is better than that. Could be could be not.

i think your missing the point . Theres a parking lot its filled with 10 cars 9 of them are pc 1 is a mac they all have alarm systems.. Is a thief going to waste his time learning how to disable the mac's car alarm or will he disable all 9 cars and laugh at the stupid thief wasting his time with 1 piddly car ..as soon as their 6 macs for every 4 pc's bing bang boom we will see more holes in mac than swiss cheese on rye
