New Norton/McAfee virus

[CoolioTiffany]

I use Spyware Doctor 6.0
It's been getting rid of all of my virus and detecting EVERYTHING. I hope it can detect this new virus.

WTH, why run a mac and buy a windows based OS. I dont get you MAC users at all.

I almost always use run Snow Leopard but for my engineering classes I need to use Solidworks, Mastercam, Matlab etc. That's where 7 comes in. Each operating system has its strong points and weak points and depending on what I am doing I am able to pick the one that best suits my needs.

EDIT: Back on topic. Thanks for the heads up on the virus. Always good to know when those things are going around.

Most viruses are written against Norton/Symatec/McAfee because they are the most popular. I was advised to use Kaspersky for that very reason and am very happy with it. I have a Mac mini too but never liked it. It actually had more problems than my HP or Dell, lol.
