My next computer WILL be a Mac! Reply #15 – January 12, 2007, 08:08:10 PM QuoteContrary to what many people think, the spyware problem is not with Windows, it is with Windows users. Probably 99.99% of spyware/viruses is like a vampire - it has to be invited in.Re-read my first post and you'll see that I agree with you! I can always pinpoint when a virus enters this computer even when I can't get rid of it easily. The culprit is usually one of the outlaws....I have been guilty a couple of times myself,however......I and my wife have been extremely good though......Nothing in about 2 years Quote Selected
My next computer WILL be a Mac! Reply #16 – January 13, 2007, 01:36:42 AM Easy fix for viruses - Deep Freeze.Installed it on parents' machine a few years ago and "froze" the c:, put the desktop, favorites, changed the default program file path, etc to d: which is unfrozen. Every reboot everything on c:, including the registry, is reset back to its previous state. Nothing can be installed and stay installed until you bootup "unfrozen" to install and reboot frozen again. Used to have hundreds of viruses/trojans every time I'd see it, plus spyware. For the last 3 years, its has zero, nor have I had to reinstall windows (used to be an every 4-6 month thing). Highly recommended for those people who seem to get viruses every time they even think of using a computer.I feel that even on a Mac, soon enough, programs like the above will also be needed. More and more people are switching to a Macintosh because their "PC" gets too many viruses, spyware, and slows to a crawl. Little do they know its not the PC at fault, its the problem of Windows and their own stupidity. I'm really hoping Linux will be more mainstream in the next 10 years. Quote Selected
