And just what the heck do PC users know about Macs? They could just be pulling your leg, you know. Don't you have any utility programs (like Norton, or some other brand) that monitors what goes on in your computer & lets you know if you have such things as Trojans or worms) ? Yes, they do exist & some can infect Macs, but I think more "info" is transferred by "cookies" on a Mac than any likely infections of the above. If you don't have any virus protection program, check out what is available & get one. The newer ones will not only alert you, but many will stop them even getting to your hard drive. They also have many new features besides the usual "virus" protection I have the OS 9.1 on this particular computer & have never had a problem! NEVER!
