Q: I want to download music from frostwire (limewire brother i guess) but im afraid my new macbook will get a virus like my PC did many times b4 no matter what antvirus software i had.. should i just not download or does mac have software i can get
A: Jazmin, there are no released MacOs X viruses. You cannot as of today get a virus from Limewire etc. I repeat, there are no released MacOs X viruses. You cannot get one by visiting a website etc. There are 3 released MacOs X trojans. They do not duplicate, to get one you have to visit a website, agree to download it, agree to install it, and put in your admin password twice. One is a fake Mac poker game, one is a fake Mac anti-virus, one is a fake Mac viewer for porn. If you download a music file and it asks to install something on your Mac, then someone is sending you one of those trojans. Odds are against it. Just don't agree to install it. There are over 1,000,000 Windows viruses, odds are someone may send you one of those, but it won't do anything except take up your hard drive space. I did tech support for 10 years, never had a Mac running MacOs X with a virus.
