QUOTE(SirAndy @ Jul 2 2004, 06:12 PM) QUOTE(morgan @ Jul 2 2004, 06:20 PM) I run a Mac dont know these things!!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) owning a MAC does not automatically protect you from viruses etc. in general. in fact, one of the first computer viruses ever was for the AppleII !!! the kids focus more on the PC simply because it's the much more common platform which means more exposure for their creative ventures into exploitive computer programming ... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) Andy The main problem with the PC is Visual Basic. It runs in outlook, web pages, etc etc, and has access to all kinds of sensitive information. There is no security model under the hood. Most other machines suffer from the odd buffer-overrun or root exploit, yes, but nowhere near the volume that microsoft has created. It is worse, and not only because it is the most prevalent, it's also because it's the worst implemented. |
