Apple Reminding Mac Users They're Not Immune to Viruses
Surely you've seen the Mac vs. PC commercials in which Apple loves to make a fool of the bungling PC, played by John Hodgman. In one commercial, embedded after the break, Apple shows a sick PC, coughing and saying he's been infected by some virus. The noble Mac offers a hankie and says he's immune. However, showing what little truth there is in advertising, Apple's not nearly as confident when it comes to making recommendations to customers.
The Zero Day blog at ZDNet recently noticed this statement on Apple's site:
Apple encourages the widespread use of multiple antivirus utilities so that virus programmers have more than one application to circumvent, thus making the whole virus writing process more difficult.In other words, Macs are indeed not immune and, not only should users install an anti-virus program, Apple recommends that they install more than one! Somehow we don't think we'll see this warning pop up in the next round of commercials. [From: Zero Day]

Yes I bought an Apple iPhone with ATT&T on ebay used and how do I get it working with my AT&T prepaid sims card so that my phone # will stay the same? Thank you so much for any advice offered. Have a wonderful holiday!
