MacGroup: Windows Viruses on Macs?

Yes, I also believe it is a "she" with that lovely e-mail address Alylex, which sounds like a character from the "Lord of the Rings" What actually are the general rules in using virex? Should one set it to automatically clean, and clean what? The home folder, the documents, mail, the hard drive

MacGroup: How Susceptible Is Your Operating System to Viruses?

While Macs are not able to be infected with windoze viruses or malware, do be careful with those critters that come in to your email boxes (make sure you delete them), because you CAN infect a windoze user by forwarding the mail to them. Jerry p.s. some facts for your UK fri

MacGroup: Windows Viruses on Macs?

I read Alex Whitman's posts about the latest stupid Windows virus, including the fact that he's going to Virex his system because he happened to have HTML clicked on in his email program when the infected messages came in--just in case. I didn't know Windows-designed viruses could affect the Mac OS

MacGroup: M$ patches: evil spam?

Just another reason to make yourself MS free. Personally, I think all the "patches" MS keeps coming up with are just sneaky ways to get spyware into millions of systems around the world. Think about it, even in America, could any product be as shoddy as Windows or need as much after-sale mainten

Very strange thing. I just received 2 email messages purportedly from Microsoft. The first is from "Microsoft Internet Delivery System" with the subject line "Bug Notice". It contains no text except an attachment, "hpqz.scr (104 KB)". The second is from "Microsoft Technical Assistance" with n
