Mainstream means malware

It seems that Facebook is no longer safe. I'm not talking about sexual predators; I'm talking about viruses. Facebook is blocked my many employers, but only a third of them claim to block it because of loss of productivity. The majority block it because of the security issues associated with it. As Facebook has soared in popularity, malicious programmers have also become enthralled with it enough to create viruses that are delivered by our beloved networking site. This is just one example of mainstreaming software becoming a target, and more will follow. Assuming they continue to be so fashionable, it's time to start taking better care of your impenetrable computers Mac users! It's only a matter of time; Macs are not better, just not as popular.

Why your boss hates Facebook
Apple claims immunity, but releases anti-virus
