    Do you think spyware would actually let you uninstall it? Nope, you gotta go mideval on it. Avast! is pretty good at removing that stuff and it's free.

    Re: Wow I pretty much just infected my computer.

    I have a Macbook Pro 3 years old.

    Never had any problems.

    Never have to buy/download additional anti-virus/spyware software.

    I have an HP tablet 3 year old and have never had any virus/spyware problems. I have had virus protection in the past, but I don't really see why that's a negative.

    The best and cheapest solution is to not download things that are obvious malware, but that's not 100% so yeah you can spend 10 minutes, one time, to install antivirus software. That's a lot less time than it would take to pick out a new mac.
    But if you're really concerned, you can download Ubuntu, and that's free!

    Fair enough. Not everyone is for a MAC.

    I'm just saying from personal experience. I have owned BOTH a PC and a MAC, and I will never go back to a PC.
