Activex? I'd be careful starting a Mac war. Besides . . . what does this have to do with Smartbridges?
It would be a waste to write a Mac virus anyway, with so few people using them. (just had to throw that one in there) I'd be careful making blanket statements like "Macs only get Word viruses." Stick to "Smartbridge" topics. _____ Jeremy _____ -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dan Petermann Sent: Wednesday, September 24, 2003 10:01 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [smartBridges] Lost packets (was Slow down problems ) I assume you mean Mac as in Macintosh and not MAC as in MAC address. A Mac is not vulnerable to Klez virus. If she is running OS X, the only viruses (virii?) that are out for it is MS Word macro viruses (thanks MS!). If running OS 9 or lower, there is only about 78 of them and they are quite rare. How do I know this? I've used Macs since 1988 and Windows since the 3.11 days. I've never used a firewall and have my Mac sitting on an unshaped IP connection for the last 5 years. I run a virus scan a few times a year and never have seen a virus. Macs can receive and send Windows viruses but not be affected by them. The chance that her computer is infected by Klez is 0 (zero). The only way she could be infected is if she is running Virtual PC and using MS Look Out, err Outlook. Bad NIC, it's possible. If you or her need a hand troubleshooting the problem let me know. I'd be glad to help. Dan Petermann Wyoming.com At 04:47 PM 9/24/2003 -0700, you wrote: >WOW well this lady that is having the problem has a MAC and her words to e >were Macs don't get viruses.
