Since you asked, I do go to sites that would riddle a PC with viruses, because I know that the malware out there which does target the Mac platform still requires an admin password to any actual harm. I have a bit of a morbid curiosity about what methods these sites use to lure dupes and enslave their computers. It'll probably bite me in the ass one day. :)


There is no security that can stop a stupid user.

The best solution to virus/malware problems is educating the user however it is also the hardest.


 This is true, however it's also my job to deal with infected computers if the issue should ever arise. We do have AV software, but AV software isn't invincible.

And I do have an awful lot of users who are, shall we say, education resistant.

If I ever manage to infect a computer, I'll consider it a training exercise.
