OH and the Kool program I have that crashes my wife's best friends iPad whenever she brings it in our house

Note too though, I don't run Vscanners either, I do run MalWareBytes regularly, and do have a good firewall protecting the perimeter.
Simple, dont install "video codecs" that are "required" at certain sites. Right now the only viruses that are a threat have to be installed by the user. So sorta like Windows then. At this time the user HAS to do something to be infected. Luckily I am not a Mac novice (read: idiot), thus until there is a real threat I never will. In the past 10 years of servicing Macs I have only had to deal with two infections, both minor and both because of the user.

I just wish, with SO many users, Windows people would run reliable software and update it!
