Could you guys please stop with the Apple fanboyism? Almost half of the users on this forum use Windows to sync their iPad/iPhone as do > 90% of all computer user in the world. You're just alienating people - and half your forum pals.

I wonder if the editor didn't drop the word "users" from the headline in order to bump the size?

you guys realize if 90 percent of the world used macs then windows would never be targeted by malicious software and it would be macs that get targetted, right?

This is one the oldest tricks in the book, but people like my grandmother fall for it every single time. Nothing to do with windows vs mac.

Often there is no update, and the email a scam.

Perhaps when people get burned enough times, it will help them develop some common sense. Harsh? Yes, but as adults we have to learn......

My thoughts as well why would anyone trust a link in the email, the thing tom do is to just visit the website like you say then all shall be revealed.

haha, what? I've worked on macs and pcs for years and find them both to be equally easy to work on. Never had a virus or malware problem on my PCs. Common sense goes a long way. I'm certainly not worried about this one either. Common sense goes a long way.
