I use AVG have an active firewall and do windows updates. So far, so good.
I've had the ocassional person post that when they hit my website they get a warning about a trojan, but Valentino never used condoms. |

I pretty much do nothing. I haven't had anti-virus software in a very long time. I had free AVG for a while but then it caused problems with something or another and I took it off.
I am reasonably good about lettings Windows Update run on the current machine but never did even once on my previous one. In all my years I've contracted a virus just once and that was extreme user stupidity in that I ran an exe I knew was infected because I was working too fast and clicked on the wrong file. But then, if Lani didn't make me I probably wouldn't have non-catastrophic health insurance either. |

All I'm saying is people need to pay attention to keeping their PC's safe in general and if they are behind the curve in doing so now would be a real good time to bring things up to date.

Agreed. And I'm just saying that the "Boy I'm glad I got a Mac" contingent is mistaken in the thought that it's some massive chore to keep from getting a virus.

And nowhere in my statement (nor anywhere else I have seen) did I imply it was a "massive chore."

I "worry" about it no more than I "worry" about a power surge blowing up the computer. I take the necessary precautions, voila. It's a miniscule effort and not a reason to switch to Mac.
We get it. You like your Mac. I like Macs too. But holy hell am I BEYOND tired of "That's why I have a Mac" posts.
