If anyone has an Apple Mac then they don't need to worry about any virus as a Mac will not read any viruses ever. Cheers

What do you mean "read any viruses ever"?

You can get a virus on a Mac - fact.

I also got 2 of these. Definately from a comp that was ending Friday 15 Jan. Be nice to narrow it down and find what comp it was.

There has never been a documented virus on any Mac machine ever...FACT

Find yourself a search engine and have a little look and you will see that your statement is incorrect.

Macs are far less prone to viruses than machines running Windows, but you are mistaken in your assertion.

I think maybe you are confusing a lot of things for viruses, I understand how that might happen with a limited knowledge of the operating system. if you can name one virus that has ever effected a mac operating system, I am certain Apple would be really interested and would probably offer you a lot of money. Billions are spent every year to ensure this has and will never happen. If you have any other questions concerning technical issues, please don't hesitate to ask (especially with Macs) always here to help. Thanks

Thank you for the kind offer but I would rather not have "technical" advice from someone who doesn't know how to use a search engine.

But thanks anyway.
