Hi Everyone, Please excuse me if this question sounds dumb :eek:, but I am new to the Mac and I just want to make sure before I do anything. I have a friend that wants me to download the MSN CHat program so we can instant chat. Will that open me up to possible any virus stuff? I know you do not have to run any virus protection on a Mac unless you run Windows.

Also if it matters my friend is on a PC.

Thanks in advance
 
It will not subject you to any viruses.

There are NO (zero, 0, nada, null, niente) published viruses for Mac OS X.

Even if you use Windows you will not get viruses on Mac OS X.
