Download and run anti-malwarebytes.

You may need to start in safe-mode...restart and keep pressing F8, then choose safe-mode.

Go buy a Mac, they never have viruses.

I've never seen a BSOD on a Mac.

Macs are just as easily prone to viruses, but why would a virus programmer make a virus for an OS that holds less than 10% of the market? Viruses are designed to be spread, so they attack the most prevalent OS which is Microsoft. Macs don't see the same security issues because not enough hackers had bothered to exploit them. I've haven't seen a BSOD since 98ME.

Macs are more secure that's why they're virus free.  People don't write malware for it because they know they'd be wasting their time.  Apple hardware looks and performs better and the "it just works" slogan is the perfect way to describe it.

Well-worth the price.

More secure how? Any OS can be exploited, people don't bother because its wasting their time BECAUSE who gives a fuck about 10% of the market?! Its a waste of time to write something for such a small community. Its a numbers game, more people buy Microsoft, so that's more people to possibly exploit. It's simple economics.

lol you don't know what you're talking about.  Mac users are 10x richer than all the poor people that pirate Windows 95 for their Pentium II computers.  If it was about economics they'd go after the people with money.

Hey, hey, hey...  I'm far from ignorant (at least with computers) and voluntarily use Windows 7 at home, and don't see myself using anything else in the foreseeable future.  Why?  For one, every bit of hardware has Windows driver support.  More and more manufacturers are offering Linux drivers, but I'd simply rather not worry about it.  I like to play games.  Linux and/or Wine can probably play a bit, but again -- why worry about it when I don't have to?  When I want software, I like choices, and quite frankly Windows has a shitton more options.  Also, to install I simply double-click an installer.  I don't need to add repositories, or find dependencies, or try to get it to work with my particular build of Linux, or compile it...  I click, and it installs.  Text and video displays better in Windows.  People argue it's not secure, and bloated, and crashes, blah blah blah.  Mine stays up for days/weeks/months at a time and is only restarted for required updates...never an issue.  Resource management is no longer really an issue, and I can leave the PC up for months without any noticeable performance degradation.  With how cheap RAM is, why should I care if Windows uses a few hundred more MB than Linux?  It's worth it, IMO, to not have to deal with the bullshit with Linux.

I use Linux on a daily basis as well, but it's delegated for server use.  I'd only use Linux for server use.  I don't have any stability issues with Windows (maybe I'm just lucky?) but Linux is a bit more stripped down and it just makes sense that it'd be more stable...  I use it as a LAMP server, mail server, IRC-bouncer, web-proxy, SFTP server, and seedbox.  Since it's merely a server and not used for anything else, I don't care about putting in the extra effort to set it all up.  Although I believe MS has really stepped up the security on Windows, there's still the fact that more componenets = more potential vulnerabilities.  I don't run a GUI on it and only access through SSH.  It's an admittedly underpowered box (dual core 2.0ghz, 2gb ram, 500gb hdd space, 100/100mbps internet connection :)), but handles the job well using Linux.  I like that all your application updates can be handled at once without having separate notifications telling you "zomg there's an update," and I like that customizations are unlimited, but honestly when I get home from work I don't feel like fucking with it and prefer something that works without issue right out the box.

I haven't used Mac enough to bash it or support it but from my limited experience I can't see what the big draw is.  I guess if you're a complete computer novice it's good, but with 90+ percent of the world using Windows you pretty much have to know Windows anyway.  A vast majority of enterprises use Windows, so Mac experience really isn't helpful at a job.

Nothing wrong with preferring one or the other.  I only get annoyed by fucks that preach about how ___ OS is the ONLY option and everything else is trash.  They all have their pros and cons.  Windows fits the home use for me, and Linux is my choice for hands-free web/media serving.  I haven't really found a place for Mac  :-\

In case you missed it I was just being a troll there.

I set up an OS X partition on my PC a year or so ago.  Just was trying to get more familiar with it and see what the big deal was.  I didn't see anything that amazing and IMO navigating it was a bit confusing.  Most likely because I've been using Windows all my life.  I didn't see anything it did better than Windows, so eventually deleted that partition to load more pr0nz.

Definitely overpriced.

Did you configure apache webserver, mysql database, and php with it?  A mailserver using courier, clamav, spamassassin, amavisd, postfix, postgrey, squirrelmail webui, and configure it it to use the various authentication protocols?  A multi-user torrenting environment using rtorrent and ruttorrent webui with user authentication?  nameserver, apache, ssl certs, and all the other fun web shit?  It's a pain in the ass and I'm glad I only have to do it once.

There are Windows equivalents that just require you to run a few installers and handle most of the configuration for you.  Sure Linux can be quick to set up if you are just using apps from the package managers.  Not difficult but some of the shit I need to do isn't nearly as easy on Linux, for example h.264 video encoding...

Erm, please update your grammar software or run a full lvl2 diagnostic on your positronic net.



I tried installing Linux on my "new" machine, which really isn't new at all. Q6600, p45 chipset, marvel LAN, etc. It had zero drivers for anything besides basic mouse and vid operations. I can't even use the USB or LAN to get new drivers. I could see it disabling two of the connectors (usb3), but it couldn't do shit with any of them. Needless to say I'm not about to reassemble my old PC just to get Linux. Especially when all I use a PC for is flame n00bs and play FPS games online.

Might I suggest Win7.

I have a similar setup (same CPU, chipset).  Not new, but more than plenty for a majority of people...
