Of curse running in the background slows it down. So far I've been lucky. But I watch where I go and am careful with Flash files.
So the question to ponder is the extra money for a Mac worth it compared to the frustration, headaches and expenses buying antivirus software and the expense having someone repair it? What about the security issues with private information that could be compromised?
