    Hey everyone!

    I have a Vista PC (sadly! I want a Mac) and I got an email from my uncle with a URL. I opened the URL. It made me download a virus. Even worse, my uncle didn't even send it. Someone hacked his email. Now I have 11 viruses that my AVG free antivius doesn't pick up and the anitvirus that does wants me to pay $80!!!!! Any help please.

    Used that once with an old PC. Worked incredibly well for freeware. Never had problems again... besides the fact that I was using a PC, that is.

    No idea *strokes PC*

    Just don't act stupid and you don't get 'em. No offense swishinj, but could you seriously not tell that email wasn't actually from your uncle?

    Dear TGR,

    I hope you are kidding about your previous statement. If not, I must inform you that you're sadly delusional and I suggest doing some research on your precious iMac.

    Delusional about what? Are you seriously trying to claim that PC's don't get viruses?

    Uh, read TGR's post again. He implies that Macs don't get viruses.

    Way to go genius, you just proved me right. And unless it's your first time browsing the internet, it's pretty hard to get a virus.:rolleyes:

    Never said they don't get viruses

    Anything else, Derek?

    wooooow dude do u have nothing better to do than be a dick? kids these days.. i said the chances of getting a virus on a mac are so small that its basically non-existent. hackers dont target macs, they target pcs. why do u think? oh yea, cause its harder.

    anything else kid?
