Do keep us informed if your group of homoerotic video collectors finds a better antivirus program.

You are using faulty logic.

I am fully aware the United States put a man on the moon in 1969. That knowledge, however, does not mean that I have traveled to the moon or even have been in space or on a rocket ship; for that matter.

I'm the one using faulty logic? That's rich seeing as you seem to have some violent hate towards a brand of anti-virus software. Talk about being illogical.

Apple's OS X. It is impossible to get malware (self installing viruses) on this operating system, and to get any virus you have to actually hit install - so don't! For other operating systems, I am not knowledgeable.

It is actually correct! If you know what you are installing you will never get a virus on Mac OS X!

Care to elaborate, or enlighten us with your l33t knowledge?

You're a moron who will probably get a virus if you think that Macs cannot get viruses.

That's not a very good explanation. Seriously, give a substantial answer.

Do I need to keep going on?

OS X is not invulnerable just like any other operating system. You don't understand anything about software if you think differently.

Oh, I never said that Mac was invulnerable. I just wanted one of your l33ts to give, in your own words, why you loathe them so much, as dlazz stated. All you provided were links. So, unless you wrote those articles, those aren't your own words.

Where did I say I loathe them or even don't like Macs? I just know that they aren't invulnerable which is what was asserted in this thread. I debunked that so now I apparently have a vendetta against Macs or something.

There are 0 viruses on OS X.

Malware, yes.

No. Some viruses sneak in through remote-execution exploits...meaning no user interaction. Using common sense (updating software/running AV) is enough to stay virus free.

The dumbasses who get viruses typically do the opposite of above. They let their 30 days of Norton expire and don't update Adobe.
