That's why you always download the trial from Apple's website, then get a serial elsewhere.

What he said ^.

Whoever downloads these packaged apps when you can get free trials (then a serial or patch) is a bit silly. Thats on any platform.

At least 20,000 silly mac users most probably infected.

Thing is, thats nothing compared to the 'millions of silly windows users' who have virus'.


Anyway, idc. I dont have the virus.

Please keep this thread from arguments between the Windows and Mac operating system. Although, if i was still a Mac user I would just download off apple and get a serial

like someone said above, does EVERYONE always have to turn every thread into mac vs. pc? honestly, anyone who really cares should find the nearest sharp object and fall on it.

anyway, like any virus no matter the system, you have to be an idiot to get it.
