Yeah, modern warfare 2 on my PS3
Games are for games consoles lol!
I use my mac for work, and for presentations, documents etc, it makes the PC look ridiculous!
Plus, it never crashes!

You must of owned a pretty crap PC for it to crash.

i'm kinda in the process of chaning over to mac at the moment
seems OK so far
i still use my windows laptop for general browsing etc
but i have a nice big alloy box now as my desktop that i'll be using for photography etc

From what i can make out this is malware that the site has been infected with... possibly trying to link people to another site (possibly porn etc)

I have noticed that usually on a Saturday / sunday this site gets attacked with spam bots linking to porn sites

Macs get viruses, there just int enough people bothered to write them. Modern macs are pritty much the same as a PC internally. They will get round to attacking macs, look at the iPhone, thats gonna get interesting when someone dodgy gets the code.

[creamsodauk]

+1 for being a mac user not gettin any issues here lol

Ah, the good old Mac Vs PC debate rears its head again...

I've had no problems either at home (on a Linux box or my Vista laptop) or at work (but seeing as I work for the MOD that's probably no indication of it being secure at all ).

Could it be malware that has "been and gone" and some people have been unfortunate to be on here at the time and downloaded it (not through choice though)?

the thing i like about the Mac vs PC debate are the funny or creative videos that appear

examples of both

its Alan Ford

UK Legend

he played a character called Bricktop in the film Snatch

he also did a good Darth Vader in Snatch wars

i give you Brick Vader! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kDKiQfBs9lo

That second video was brilliant!

We've got Mac's for specific purposes at work due to security accreditations etc as it's easier to get for them. Come to think of it, we're still using BBC Micros for some applications (and no, I'm not joking!)

I got the avg warning on my laptop on Saturday and it hasn't come up sence, however my laptop and desktop have both now got viruses on them. I am unable to go onto any antivirus websites e.g avg, avast or norton but I can get on all other websites, other things like freezing and Internet going off are also happening. Could this be a virus from oople?

[jimmy]

no - but I'm familiar with that virus or a similar one. It spreads via removable drives / flash memory sticks etc. No idea where I got it from but my 'sticks' get stuffed in various computers at race meetings. It blocks you from downloading known anti-spyware like malware bytes or similar so you can't remove it easily. It's easy to know you're infected - just try going to malwarebytes website and if you can't it's a bit of a give away.

Microsoft do a tool to remove it - I will look for it and and upload it for you to download and run. Or if you can find somewhere to download something like malwarebytes that will also remove it.
