Mac's are hardly invulnerable to viruses. Just most hackers don't bother writing viruses for systems that pretty much only graphic designers use. Apple's market share isn't even in the double digits (around 3-5%).

Umm not exactly. Condoms are much more unreliable for birth control. Perfect use has a 2% chance of pregnancy per year on average, typical use is around 10-18% pregnancy chance per year. If you don't know how to put one on properly/are inexperienced with them, the chance jumps to way over 50% per year. They are good for most blood transmitted STDs though, particularly AIDS. This is why I always say don't rely only on condoms for birth control.

Yep that is true unless of course you got suckered into one of those fake AV programs which install more viruses. :03:

Ah, that is what happened to my daughter. She clicked a link that showed the usual you got a virus and porn, yadda yadda click here for the anti-virus program that will remove this virus. Total scam. When I checked into the virus on the infected computer the internet would redirect me right to the same "anti-virus" site that can remove this virus. What a set up it was. I'm sure many have paid and the virus was gone but all the same the virus could be removed with Malewarebytes. At any rate, some people are suckered into these fake programs. No doubt about it. Then there are people who ask a bunch of questions first. :03:
