Although I have a ton of questions about macs, I will stick to this one for now.
I am a pc user but I have always been drawn to the mac. I have read up on this forum and saw how everyone said that you will not get spyware/adware. So I jumped in the nearest apple store and took a look at their computers. One was connected to the net so I went to take a look at it. Now I will give you some background. In my first years as a pc user, I have gotten my share of viruses, spyware, and adware. Now I understand that you all do not get viruses and I understand that. But when I tried to access the mac that was on the internet I found that it was plagued with some sort of adware. The screen was that smily central thing(to download emoticons). I could not surf due to the pop-ups. Now that is probably the fault of the user right? Is the mac still prone to adware or spyware? Or is it the users fault for downloading a program. If the user had not downloaded the adware, that wouldn't have happened right? I am and will always be a computer noob, so if this is a dumb question and stupid post I apologize.
