[QUOTE="q17, post: 587785, member: 39277"] I did a search here and didn't find much, and a lot of the info out on the web is pretty technical and specific. I was just wondering if someone could give me the skinny on the vulnerability of macs as opposed to PCs. Do I need to be as paranoid with my mac notebook as with a PC? Basically, if I am doing benign research and work-related stuff on my mac on a secure network, what is the worst that could happen? Do I need to be doing specific things? Is anti-virus software recommended even if I am careful? Thanks for any insight or experiences. Edit: Ah, I know, hardware only...I posted in the wrong forum...I knew that, I just made a mistake. Sorry.. [/QUOTE]
