Don't Be a Computer Virus Victim

I think it's great that Macs enjoy "virus protections" that the PC doesn't. But if you think you're 'safe' because you're trusting the computer, consider the fact that the vast majority of PC users aren't on Macs, so hackers don't bother to write viruses for them. Knowing that, you still must understand that viruses get triggered not because the computer is a PC but because the user isn't paying attention.

Don't blame PCs, blame users. As long as users continue to allow their email programs to automatically launch files, idiocy like the Sobig virus will continue. This was the fifth version of this virus and they keep getting nastier than their predecessors..
