Torrenting cracked software that allows the installer (which needs your admin password to install) to drop malicious files onto your Mac?? I can't imagine! :rolleyes:

Right before I send my Mac out onto the Internet, I tell it, "Hey, don't catch anything out there."

And then we both look at each other with smug little smiles.

Other than that ... nothing but good ol' common sense.

But I developed an itchy rash on my fingers...chemical burns or something.

Only one - and I'm actually PAID to use it. That's not a task worth doing for free. Using Windows, by choice, is about as intelligent as driving 20 minutes in a top-down Jeep when it's 38 degrees outside and wearing nothing more than a pink tutu and one sock. Ya know?
