Uh and which one is that? I think that would be news to the whole Mac community.
Do you mean those Trojans that comes with pirated iWork/Photoshop etc that requires you to double click them and enter your admin password? Or those "quicktime updates" that certain porn sites download to your computer which you have to mount, double click AND enter admin password for to be installed? |

Tips on not getting 'hacked'
1. Watchout for porn sites they seem the most likely to have torjens etc
3. Dont use Kazaa/limewire, if you do dont download ANY .exe/.rar files
|
Or use a virtual machine. |

| Yeah I would hardly call those "viruses" since you need to download them, run them and enter your admin password. You can't protect the computer against stupid users. |

"that is universally stupid"
1. you should always change your passwords
2. passwords are not meant to be given out.
this goes against what everyone has recommended to prevent your system from being hacked. epic fail. |

Meh for school... I rather stay home and read books. Got my Network+ cert this way and my A+ one very soon. If people are really interested in hacking they could always go for the Security+ cert to get started. |
