One of the anti-virus software firms took us down with a weekend upgrade, that was pushed out from our servers to our PCs. what fun that was, took all day for us to back it out, so it is not just OS upgrades that can kill your computer. There are several virus that tell you that an infection has gotten into your PC and suggest you down load their system (virus). I have seen that one at home and use PC tools to remove it. I use routers and firewalls at home and still the bad stuff fines a way in. I wonder if firms using apple have such problems??
