Just a FYI, I've had more virus' on my Macs over the years (all the way back to the Mac Plus) than I've had on my PC over the years. In fact, I've only been hit once by a virus and that was at work because someone ELSE did something stupid by opening an attachment.
Mac's get virus' too, but because they aren't as popular, no-one really tries writing virus' for them.
As an IT person, I've had to deal with this professionally. Keep Windows updated, and that eliminates most threats, as many virus' take advantage of unpatched machines. Then there's the human element where some idiot clicks on an attachment or clicks on something giving the virus rights to the machine. This can and does happen with Macs too, but as I said earlier...no one really cares about Macs.
I'm not a Mac hater, but I am a Mac "superiority" hater. Mac's are more expensive, run less software and really aren't better than a PC. It's kind of like Prius superiority...it's funny, and you just end up blowing past them in your Camaro laughing.
