--Am really new student on computers. I have a Dell PC which the VA issued me. It is giving me many difficulties. My son, who lives in California, has an Apple Mac, and he tells me, he has no problems with Virus. Can you tell me why the Mac computer works so good. I might have to buy one myself, even if I am 74 years old. Can you give me some info on the Apple Mac? Thank you for all you assistence.

Greyfox,the mac works good because the operating system is a stable,beautiful thing to behold and is mostly secure from threats. It also works good because the hardware inside the computer is good quality and the whole thing is designed to be user friendly.

It s actually not because it is a MAC
For a few seconds make yor mind a little more criminal like:
If you want to make a virus what would you do? obviously find the best way to get the most possible no of people with it.
To do that it is easy; attack Windows nearly all computers on this earth use windows so you d do it for windows. That is the reason that a windows pc is so viciously attacked.
And anyways being a 74 year old using a mac would be more difficult. I mean installing some software on a MAC is totally different on a MAC. Basically it s different from the ground up.
I mean the best thing if your lap is giving difficulties take it to your technical support office and tell them to format it and reinstall windows with a good antiviral, firewall , antispyware and trojan protector that way you can make windows calmer and keep it all the same.
