Reason #26 why I like my Mac

[learnedax]

Spent about two hours this morning cleansing tpau's computer of a couple bits of malware, added to her hour+ last night. About 300 bits, actually. Needed three different virus-scrapers, a lot of websearching, and some incidental registry hacking. Clearly virii have been domesticated for business purposes all too effectively. Of course spyware is well-known, but I hadn't noticed how incredibly locustlike it had become of late. Please to be stop using Microsoft now.
