Only Morons who willingly subject themselves to such infections will Quickly learn how not to become infected... If you keep hiding under mommys skirt you wont know what hit you when you finaly venture out. Someone will figure out how to write a way around the root and smack that ass. If you hadn&#039;t been hiding under mommys skirt you would have learned the warning signs. Most knowledgeable Windows users Know to set up restricted user accounts where as you have to use a password to enable the priviledges to the root to execute. Same steps are employed just in a more user freindly approach. Which I will grant that it is too easlily Ignored thus another infected LEARNS.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[you are cool...!!! i agree as what you said...

Further, due to the strong separation between normal users and the privileged root user, our Linux user would have to be running as root to really do any damage to the system. He could damage his /home directory, but that’s about it. So the above steps now become the following: read, save, become root, give executable permissions, run. The more steps, the less likely a virus infection becomes, and certainly the less likely a catastrophically spreading virus becomes. And since Linux users are taught from the get-go to never run as root, and since Mac OS X doesn’t even allow users to use the root account unless they first enable the option, it’s obvious the likelihood of email-driven viruses and worms lessens on those platforms.

how many people who could create a virus file damage all those root files...execution ;)

		<description><![CDATA[Why do all the Mac users insist that this pc (you heard right, it&#039;s still a personal computer, whether Jobs thinks it is or not) is better than all the rest. Sure, you get alot less viruses, but that still doesn&#039;t mean you&#039;re totally immune from them. If you were, than why would you have built-in virus software installed? The sad thing about the pc wars is that Gates and Jobs used to be friends at one time, now it&#039;s all about who&#039;s better, who&#039;s best and who gets less viruses.

Don&#039;t worry Mac users, some dipwad will come along and throw a crap load of viruses your way.  Don&#039;t think you&#039;ll be safe forever, because all good things come to an end.

Btw, I had an Apple about 4 years ago. I thought the thing sucked because it always froze up on me. Also, it looked stupid (who the f---
wants a computer that looks like a fruit) and costs an arm and a leg.
Hey, Steven, did they use a (cr)Apple to for your new liver?  Join back up with Gates so the Oddest Couple (other than Siegfried and Roy and Penn and Teller)can squeeze more money out of everyone!

foot-note: to anyone I may have offended... sorry, but that&#039;s the brakes. Too bad my friend, Albert, wasn&#039;t around. You (and your Macs)
would see what a real virus could do.]]></description>
