[QUOTE="capital2, post: 975478, member: 138970"] Well, I said 'malware' because I thought it encompasses all the bad stuff- ie viruses, spyware, trojans, etc. I am no computer expert, but I've been trying figure this stuff out as I get used to using a mac. I think all average users should get an idea of [I]why[/I] computers work the way they do. I can't tell you how many times my old hp pavilion had to brought to geek squad and I had it serviced for things I didn't even understand myself. I used to be big on P2P programs like Soulseek, which probably played a role in that. Is it a bad idea to use P2P programs and torrents on macs as well? I used soulseek before on my HP pavilion and I don't think it helped how the computer functioned. But then again, I really don't know what I'm doing when I use programs like that. So now, I want to at least try to understand. [/QUOTE]
