| MAC asked for it...
# 1 reason PCs are more vulnerable is because they are the most used, thus if you are writing a malicious code, you will want to maximize your damages.
Now, MAC has been stepping up their "untouchable" speech lately. I'm quite sure that there are many people wanting to prove them wrong. |

Re: ummmmmm
They're just trying to make them look useful again. In my eyes, Symantec hasn't been useful since NAV2003.
Ever since NAV2003, it has been nothing but bloat, bugs, bloat, bugs, and more bloat and bugs.

said by LegoPower77  :ROTFL, dumbasses. Agree. That old "because nobody uses Macs is why they are safe" (and it's 'Mac' not 'MAC' people!!!!) is tired and flawed.

I will agree that the internet security and systemworks versions of the symantec software are entirely too bulky, and bugged to run efficiantly on most machines. however, just the antivirus is what i use, no norton firewall or norton pop-up blocker(even though i do have these things, just from other makers) or the other 50 programs included in internet security. it keeps my butt out of trouble when i click a link i really shouldnt(i cant help it sometimes, lol) and if it does mess up i can use symNRT to remove and reinstall in 5 minutes... |

| AAPL is up and someone doesn't have any.
So apple suggests something that is correct, and someone else states something different that is correct. Oh and the time to fix new vulnerabilities is longer than the time was to fix older vulnerabilities that there were less of.
Maybe teh slow video card makes them safer?

Re: MAC asked for it...
Tired maybe but Flawed no.
The "hackers" that exploit Windows that cause spyware, virii problems do so to make money. They DO NOT do it for publicity. The last thing they want is to sit on David Letterman and explain how they did it.
They want cold hard cash and such will ignore Mac's until it becomes profitable. |

Hmmm funny I was talking about Safari vulnerabilities a few days ago. Now I know where Symantec probably comes with this info. Nothing better than free PR. You keep your disgusting Norton Securities off my Mac thank you. |

Mac Is Nothing...
But a piece of UNDER-PERFORMING and OVERPRICED computer hardware with an OS that also has full of hidden exploits but less hackers/crackers exploiting them due to the very low percentage of users with Macs on the computing world... Hell even my cheapo Intel Core 2 E6300 with 2GB of DDR2-667 Memory and a nvidia 7900gtx on WinXP SP2 can outperform the Macs for 1/4 of the price... And did i ever mention i never had a crash and/or issue with computer security? Lol... Remember Mac fanboys users, NO OS is secure in this world... Only "knowledge" on the end user's side will keep you secure.  |

The utter ignorance are astounding as I read posts bashing the Mac. I have a decked out, overclocked FX-60 gaming rig with custom water cooling, and I still prefer the Mac. |

Re: Mac Is Nothing...
This whole thread was nothing but "troll lure" from the get go.
And of course, the tired old "My cheapo computer can outperform the Mac at 1/4 of the price" has to come up.
Just about every post in this thread is nothing but trolling.
Fine, you like Windows, have fun with it, enjoy it. No one is telling you what OS to use. Come to think of it, I don't think I saw one Mac person post in this forum yet.
Both OS's have advantages over the other. Let's just leave it at that... |

This is like a garage builder passing out flyers saying that vehicle vandalism in the area is going up. It might be true, but is the source impartial? Not in the least.
