Hah! I knew it. I just ordered my first Mac ever thinking they would be safer then a Windows box.
Sorry guys, this is my fault. I brought the nastiness over to the Mac world.

Bit off topic but for you Windows users out there, if you want to avoid compromising your computer, just do the following:
- Use a good web browser (Opera, Firefox). I still recommend against IE7 despite it coming a long way.
- Install an anti-virus software package not made by Symantec. Norton causes more problems then it solves. McAfee isn't far behind either. My personal recommendation is AVG Free.
- Don't install crap from MySpace or MSN. Things like screen savers, mouse cursors and animated dancer icon things are usually vectors for spyware/ad-ware.
- Move your My Documents folder off your C: drive an onto a separate partition.
I'm sure there are others.
