And which ones of the billion out there would those be, I wonder?
I guess any one that doesn't say "HEY, YOU DON'T HAVE FLASH PLAYER, CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD" while playing flash ads on the side.
Well I mean, what's a re-install every month or so when you're getting all the pron for free eh..
This is why you should only get your porn from reputable web sites.
But dolphin free porn sites aren't quite as tasty ...
HEHE-I guess I never got internet porn-3 inch square windows...
There are still plenty of places to rent it for the 50" 1080p TV if that's your thing. A much better viewing environment with the wife

There has been some high profile trojans lately and demonstrated exploits. No viruses.
From everything that I've seen and read, I kind of want to say that viruses on a Mac are impossible.
That is, EVERY exploit that I've ever seen requires some form of user confirmation before it can do what it does.
Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I have never heard of anything that, once downloaded, opens by itself and trashes your computer without your consent.
