[QUOTE="Teknold, post: 1740607, member: 386163"] Hello and thank your for your reply! No, I have heard that Mac AVs ruin systems so I don't use them. And that there really are no viruses. I was afraid if .mp4 files could contain Mac malware/adware/trojans, but those can't then hide inside video files and execute themselves while video plays? I read the superuser article and hoo boy, not sure if I'm lucky or not that I did not know about this while being Windows user... But in mac, they can't execute themselves without asking user to actually let them install themselves? [/QUOTE]
