CarolC "I was under the impression that the Mac is less prone to viri and problems like that because its OS doesn't have a lot of holes and other flaws in it like Windows does."

Well every OS does have holes that can be exploited. There are relatively few Macs out there compared with Windows Boxes, and furthermore, Macs, being usually more expensive, are less likely to be acquired by the "script kiddies". Also, the availability of the technical info for creating the nasty stuff is more easily available for Min boxes than Macs.

This merely means that there have been very few virus creators out there spending anywhere near the same total amount of resources on the task.
