iPhone/pad is changing people's opinions. :)

Yep changed my mind after having an iPhone I decided to never have a Mac laptop. Most overrated phone around. Great for doing everything but making actual phone calls and getting reception, especially if travelling OS.

I cant get that URL to work, not even from a google :(
http://www.pcantivirusreviews.com/
Interesting - Microsoft Security Essentials wont allow that URL to work on this new machine I've built! even after adding to exceptions n rebooting

My PC, several laptops at work all open it without issue.

Bye bye MSE.

I use Norton 360 and have done so for a number of years now. It has always worked well for me and i have had no issues with it. It has caught out and saved quite a few attacks in it's time. I keep updated each year to the latest version.

It would want to have change big time for me to go near it again for a business application. >:D

Built a new PC for a mate this week, and have put the trial version of Bitdefender on it

Seems to go ok, no lag while online gaming, or videoing in Premier....

All those trial versions of paid antivirus programs on MS computers from friendly, helpful suppliers/builders when MSE is free and from the very experts who provide the operating system plus Office and IE. Yeah riiiiiight!

You know how it is Estelle. After buying a Holden you should always listen ever so politely to the Ford Dealer telling you how you need to stick Ford parts all over it. Then the BMW Dealer weighs in.

Dunno about spoon bending so much as relying on a trusty, old fashioned, wind-up, clockwork BS detector that's been passed from hand to hand down the generations. Without a CDROM or downloadable manual the art of winding it up is somewhat lost on the digital generation, but I have the type written instructions in a safe place and it all gets passed on when I'm too weak and feeble to read the instructions and wind it anymore  :-*

Food for thought for the head in the sand Mac users

http://money.msn.com/business-news/article.aspx?feed=OBR&date=20130219&id=16137498

Unknown hackers infected the computers of some Apple workers when they visited a website for software developers that had been infected with malicious software. The malware had been designed to attack Mac computers.

I'm gonna stir the pot here but most people who get virus and spyware issues bring this on with their own surfing habits....  PEBCAK.

LOL, I'm going to stir the pot as well and say that this used to be the case. These days there are some truly clever methods of being on the receiving end of spyware etc by doing no more than simply viewing a website which can cause malware to infect their computer.

Don't worry, the above link is safe - or is it?!?  >:D
