That way, you can pay far too much for far too little computer, but you will be in an exclusive club with the other nine or ten people who still use them!
Actually, if your problem is one of a virus, then dump any Norton, McAfee or other consumer garbage AV program and get a copy of InnoculateIT (eTrust) from Computer Associates (http://ca.com/) and install it.
If your problem is spyware, then go to http://www.lavasoft.com/ and download a personal copy of Ad-Aware, then run it every time you get ready to shut down your computer, or the first thing when you boot it.
The only reason why Macs don't seem to be affected is because there are not enough people using them for virus writers to waste their time creating bugs for them. Those lowlifes like to infect millions of computers, if possible, and there probably aren't a million Apples of all varieties combined in existence. Besides that, if you buy software for a Mac, then compare it to the exact same application for a PC, you will find the Mac version has about 10 percent the power and features of the one for the PC. That is because of Mac's inherently inferior memory management system and its inability to handle complex operations.
But, your problem may be neither a virus or a spyware issue. It is possible that you are having either a processor or motherboard problem, so have it checked out by a qualified tech before spending any money needlessly. I would suspect a motherboard partial failure first due to the nature of the problem you described. |
