Message: <blockquote data-quote="RonaldCS" data-source="post: 45769">I have just been reading this thread with some trepidation.  I am a PC user who has become increasingly fedup with all the protection I need.  At present I have nine programmes (including AV and firewall) to stop viruses, trojans, adware, popups and so on all of which need regular updates and which have to be run equally regularly.  The final straw has been the latest from Microsoft - Windows XP SP2 - which has an attached list of scores of normal programmes which may never be the same again if it is installed.I have been reading up about Macs on the web including "Why switch" and like what I see very much.  However, if I do switch am I going to find myself in the same position with a clutter of protectiion programmes and the constant fear that some horror may penetrate an unguarded hole and ruin my computer?</blockquote>
