I received a similar thing from a friend who thinks it's the Mac's fault. >>> On 2010-03-24 at 15:35, <friend> wrote: What do you use for Antibugware on your Apple PC? Are there any freeware packages? We have a user here who had her personal Yahoo email account hacked. She just bought a new Apple for christmas and doesn't think it has any antivirus on it ..... you know the story .... apples don't have those kind of problems. Anyway, her yahoo account was wiped out (inbox, outbox, contacts, etc.) and then someone sent out a message to all her contacts indicating she was having a hard time and needed money from everybody. Any info you might have that we could help her out with would be appreciated. Thanks. Second question: What do you Mac folks use for your antivirus? if anything?
