I realize you'll work out some alternate reality for this also...but a recent pcworld article.
The results for Vista products were harder to assess because only six rootkits could run on the OS, but the testers had to turn off UAC to get even this far. Vista's UAC itself <http://www.pcworld.com/article/id,146008/article.html?tk=rel_news>spotted everything thrown in front of it.' http://www.pcworld.com/businesscenter/article/146256/vistas_despised_uac_nails_rootkits_tests_find.html And aside from this you have once again *completely* missed my point and gone off on tangents away from my original post. Simply that the mac os security isn't perfect, it can get hit with rootkits and other trojans. I never said it was likely, just possible, I even admitted on the mac I do have, I don't run AV software. Mike On Sat, Dec 6, 2008 at 7:42 PM, Tom Piwowar <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > >Sorry, Tom.
