I know that microsoft makes a Mac version of the Office they have, if the Mac version is installed on a imac, will it be prone to viruses? Or hackers using that software to bust into our systems? :confused:

Oh yeah, all over it.:rolleyes:

No. Microsoft is not evil, Microsoft does not equal to virus. Geez. Talking about discrimination.

No, you will be fine. Viruses hit Windows, because of the OS. A long time ago there were some macro viruses that affected a few Office documents. But they are long gone.

They never worked on Mac Office, anyway. They generally had Windows-specific code in them.
