Doesn't affect me, I steer clear of all Apple software
So far, I've yet to be infected with any type of malware in the 12 years I've been running Windows. Hmm, we already know that [url=http://blog.washingtonpost.com/securityfix/2006/10/apple_ships_video_ipods_with_w.html] Apple deliberately infects their Windows software with viruses [/url] so I wonder if it is any coincidence that I'm Apple free and malware free?

Take it from me folks, don't use any Apple software and you will probably not get any Windows malware.

Once again, I want to stress that these vulnerabilities do not affect me in any way imaginable. I don't run any Apple software, I will never run any Apple software, so I'm just writing to tell all of you that if you too avoid Apple software, you too will avoid any Windows malware.

Thank you.
