[QUOTE="IvanLasston, post: 1023816, member: 145676"] No I don't know the members well - I am new here and I'm not trying to pick a fight. It is just the last few security questions all seem to revolve around viruses and how there are none. 2 recent threads stick out to me [URL]http://www.mac-forums.com/forums/switcher-hangout/195594-want-reformat-without-anything-being-left-over.html[/URL] [URL]http://www.mac-forums.com/forums/switcher-hangout/195775-email-virus.html[/URL] Where members dismiss viruses out of hand but the issues in the thread seem to be a social engineering issue. So I apologize I may have rushed to judgment but all I saw in those threads from others is "there are no viruses, you're probably OK" which is what led to my original tirade. [/QUOTE]
