AnOther Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 The Mac brigade have been in denial for years, funny how they all love Bootcamp which allows them to run Windows, ho ho ho [:P] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonzjob Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 On the old principal that generalisations are always wrong, what's Boot Camp? Neither of my Macs have got it?The only progamme that I would like to be able to run that is Windoze based if TYRE. Everything else is OS X based and fine with me, even my virus checker [:P]Just as a matter of interest, the only way that I would go back to Widnoze is kickin and skreemin [8-|]Am I correct in the assumption that Wizdose has followed the Mac example of not charging for new OSs? Well, time to join the good brigade init [6] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonzjob Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 I have always used Comodo on my Macs and this evening I found out why it isn't working since I upgraded to Yosemite. It doesn't work with it!! So I have posted the question of which is the best on the Mac forum I'm on and I'll post any results I get on here.To say that Macs aren't open to viruses is nonsense, but to say that they are MUCH safer and better protected that Mikrosaft machines is true.

It is nothing really to do with what the operating system and it being 'better protected' but more to do with quantity and effect and you get a better effect with MS.
