System Specs

You all do know that if a new virus infects an apple with system level access it can disable the anti-virus and take over the system the same as on a PC, and thus the reason Microsoft still releases parches for XP, and has the need to release patches even for machines that have anti-virus. the same access anti-virus has to any machine is the same hole that could be exploited to disable and infect the machine.



Only rootkit type anti-virus that slows a whole machine horrible would make it semi-immune to infection.

So no matter what Apple, Microsoft or anyone else does there will still be ways to infect machines and disable them, or infect and use them.


But, at least apple is open to the idea their super secure system is as full of holes as my strainer.
