About 8,000 of these pages per month are appearing on the web and many already affected are legit sites. That got me to thinking... could a Mac accumulate enough of these to be affected speed-wise and response-wise, even though the virus could not penetrate the Mac like it would a Windows OS and actually highjack anything? In other words could virus code simply clog or hinder or slow down the Mac's performance?</p></blockquote><p></p>
