[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1635990"] That's pure BS. OS X is a operating system. To USE it you need applications, and they are almost all third party. I'm not going to get into the virus discussion, but at the present time there are no viruses for OS X. Annoyware and other crapware do exist, along with hijackers and adware, but those are pretty easily dealt with with a third party product called AdwareMedic, and prevented with two other third party products called AdBlock+ and Ghostery. And you can tune up OS X with a third party product called Onyx. You said in your original post that "media player" is sending you a message. Since there is no Apple app called "media player" the request for what the *bleep* you are talking about is appropriate. If you'd like to see how many third party apps there are, just a fraction of them are on the Mac App Store. [/QUOTE]
