[QUOTE="ALPHA17, post: 1630773, member: 33927"] 1) I am sorry to take in the broader sense, is to take in every exploit ever created for Mac OS X as well as for Windows OS, now I do agree on the following points -- [list] [*]That Mac is overall a more secure platform. [*]Windows is more vulnerable to exploits. [/list] I digress on these points --[list] [*]That Mac is invulnerable, this is not the case as displayed by the latest Flashback Trojan. [*]Mac is insusceptible to malware, again this myth is downed by the existence of the Mac Defender malware that sprouted from naive users desperate for a magic bullet to cure their Mac's of the Flashback ills --> [url="http://arstechnica.com/apple/news/2012/04/kaspersky-lab-mac-os-x-invulnerability-to-malware-is-a-myth.ars"]http://arstechnica.com/apple/news/2012/04/kaspersky-lab-mac-os-x-invulnerability-to-malware-is-a-myth.ars[/url] / [url="http://www.crn.com/slide-shows/applications-os/220100937/top-mac-os-x-security-myths.htm?pgno=2"]http://www.crn.com/slide-shows/applications-os/220100937/top-mac-os-x-security-myths.htm?pgno=2[/url]. [*]Getting a Mac is the best for functionality and stability, again I would like to say that I have used Macs as well as Window 7, XP based systems and I was perfectly fine using Windows 7. [*]Most importantly there are plenty of softwares that are not capable of running on Mac OS X which are compatible with Windows and Open Source initiatives like Linux and Free BSD. [/list] Also I do not get how you got infected so easily with your Windows 7 based PC, I mean I have had a legit copy of Windows 7 Home Premium, safe guarded by MSE [since July 2010] and I have just formatted it just once sometime in December 2011 because I needed to implement RAID settings on my hard drives. Windows 7 even without SP 1 was a secure piece of software that I am content with. I concede that I misinterpreted your second point so I put forth my views, let that argument rest. Hope you get my point of the story. Cheers!! [/QUOTE]
