[QUOTE="slashjunior, post: 309237, member: 23667"] I would disagree about no viruses and no spyware. With Macs becoming more and more popular, what's to say there isn't viruses in .dmg or will be in the future? I always think it is better to be safe than sorry. I have a free virus scanner called ClamXav, it hasn't found anything yet but I will be glad if it does and feel sorry for other Mac users who were too complacent. Windows XP and Internet Explorer are attacked so often by malicious code not because they are bad pieces of software, far from it. They are attacked because that is what most people use. I feel Apple or Linux would have the same problems if they had the same popularity, don't get me wrong though I do prefer Macs to Windows! Maybe I am just being paranoid! [/QUOTE]
