I've had bad experiences in the past loosing data. My whole drive was wiped out due to a virus on my first computer many moons ago. The Chernobyl was said to be one of the worst viruses of all time which wiped out hundred of thousands of computers in 1999.
I had just started computing at the time and thought that viruses where just something invented by virus software companies in order to sell software - which is why I didn't install any anti-virus apps.
I currently have Norton running on my Windows machine but nothing on my Mac. I was going to say what Apple say and that "Macs don't get viruses" - I'm sure they do exist but they seem to be near non existent. Do you run anti-virus software on your machine? Have you been the victim of a virus before? Have you lost a load of data due to disk failure or virus?
