I just found out my PC had been "hijacked". I was reading this article at BBC News online:

..and decided to dig a llitle deeper and see if mine might be, it had been acting a little odd lalely - tuns out it was.
Are Macs capable of being hijacked in a similar way? I already have 2 spyware checkers on my PC computer, it was suggested I download two more - four in total lol - alongside virus scanners and checkers. Too be honest i'm on the vege of taking my PC out into the garden, pouring petrol over it and setting fire to it.
