I think that the one good thing of being on dial-up is that its really hard to get either hacked or virused. Then again, i nvr seem to get them. As to the thing that shut down the system, a computer cafe i go to had the same thing, booting up the firewall worked, i just really want to know what caused it. Is it just me or is hacking on the rise? and not the good kind either!

I think that hacking is on the rise. My only explanation is that all the guru's are out of work because of their websites dot.bombing.

Another reason to stay away from Windows Mac OS X in fact have less than 40 known viruses. Almost all of them are macros and all extinct Well there is more or less one reason that macs don't viruses. Macs don't have any barging basement computers (Sub $500). Most computer viruses are made in China/Asia. These people don't have the money to buy macs. So they buy low cost PC with Winders and/or Linux x86. They write programs that usually eventually spread around to the entire world. Another reason that they aren't many viruses or security problems on the Mac is because people always look for security flaws and report it to Apple. Over the years there have been many security updates for OS X that correct minor flaws. Why do you hate macs? Or better yet have you even tried Mac OS X, or do you have some deep hatred for something you don't know. Both systems have its up and downs. |

I think the reason for less Mac viruses is more because of the smaller number of Mac users. If you're writing a virus or worm, you probably want it to spread to the most computers possible, and Macs can't acheive that. The installed user base is a lot smaller. Would you target the 90%+ of users that use Windows, or the more niche Mac OS? I don't think it really has anything (or at least not much) to do with system prices or even security fixes. It's a simple game of numbers.

I caught the worm pretty early. The topic to fix it was still on Slashdot's main page. That thing took my computer out for two days, luckily my cousin plays Dark Ages of Camelot and a bunch of them had it and he told me what it is.
Another reason for me to get a mac. I've been trying but since I'll need a windows laptop for college i guess it is a no go yet. |
