Story: There's no worm in your Apple - honest
Posted by: seanthemac (Tuesday 2 November 2004, 2:09 PM)
Facts:-
My apple doesn't get hammered with viruses, dialers, spyware, popups or worms. Unlike my 3 PC's which I have to constantly battle with just to keep them working. I visit the same web sites on apple and pc and frequently check the same emails.
Anyone who gets bothered by this Opener crap is simply careless.
Who you going to believe? Apple or Sophos?
Who has the most to gain? My money is on Steve Jobs' lot.
