[QUOTE="baggss, post: 1229474, member: 6762"] It would help the Windows on Mac users, but keep in mind any PC viruses would only impact the Windows side, not the Mac side. As has already been stated, the Macs UNIX underpinning is one of the reason it is more difficult to exploit but i'm sure it could be done. Then again, I'm pretty sure Aliens could invade the earth one day so I need to figure out how to defend against that too. Frankly, I'm not worried about either at this point. Don't get too caught up in the "why factor" here. There are multiple reasons that likely combine to result in no viruses and little if any malware. Instead I'd recommend enjoying the the change of not having to worry about nor deal with these kinds of issues. That made me laugh! If that makes you feel safer then no harm done. Eventually though you'll realize it's just a waste of space and system resources. Right there with you.... [/QUOTE]
