Reply #19: Well first, I never use IE. But with OSX I don't get registry errors, spyware, etc. [View All]

OSX on mac platforms, but still use a couple PCs with XP-pro.

The PCs don't have any anti-virus programs, but are still susceptible to corruption.

I've only had one significant malware attack, and the free utility from malwarebytes cleared that up.

It's unbelievably challenging to edit the registry and make other changes to the PC to restore it to optimum working condition.

I'm always one step away from F-disk and reload of the OS, out of frustration.

Which is why I do not depend on my PCs, but I use them and help parents and friends maintain and troubleshoot theirs from time to time.
