Snoopy1966 Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 I guess what I am trying to say is that Windows is more likely to get infected. People do not worry about us Linux users because it is very hard to hack. I am not sure about MAC, but I would sat the same thing that it is a better OS. Mind you that I probably will always have a Windows computer just for the fact of certain programs I use and for gaming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EternalSoil Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 looks like a legit avast warning however; it looks like the malware is trying to mask itself and say that its the site. cause there is no www and it just looks weird.... it probably came out of hiding and decided its name was going to be "http://hookahforum.com" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason they don't get viruses is becaus the purpose of a virus is to effect as many computers as possible. more people have windoze, therefore viruses are written for and targeted at the majority of computers out there, windoze Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
