It pays to keep on top of PC viruses.

Get yourself on a mailing list from one of the top anti-v providers.

Trend Micro will send you an e-mail alert way before a virus attacks, I am pretty sure Symantec does the same thing.

It will pay off in the long run.

Ditto on the Mac

I have been using the same Mac i book for about 5 years and it never crashes, never is susceptible to viruses, never needs to be "tweaked" to work with certain programs, etc..etc.. The Mac is the Gold label of computers and everything else is a distant runner up at best :smokin:
