DEFAULT PASSWORD TO MGUARD SOFTWARE
In fact I even disabled the software firewall and virus protection locally on that machine. That being said though, I haven?t received a virus or Trojan since 1998, my secret, hardware firewall and virus perfection. I use Windows for one reason games (AND NOTHING ELSE!) so blast me. I think Apple is doing a good job at getting security updates to us, but I wish they would ship OS with the Firewall turned on. If true that a big part of our protection is security by obscurity and if the Sales of the Mac Mini are good then it's only time before we become a target. We the Mac community should learn from all this and make sure our Mac's are as secure as possible. The whole internet has become one huge distributed hacking machine doing all it can to steal the resources of your PC! Of course even a firewall can not protect the other poor souls who still use IE! Thing is apart from the machine running slow, they probably would never know if they didn't have any Virus software telling them their machine is infected. As soon as they get home and plug it into their routerless connection. I just feel sorry for the poor souls that buy a machine with a version of windows without the Firewall turned on by default. I forgot my router does all that crap, I suppose I just take it for granted that I have all the protection. I'm glad I'm returning to OS X in a few weeks time (new Powerbook). I would have thought that with Mac users going on how secure the mac is compared to PC's there would be loads of people creating trojans for the mac, just to shut us up?!
Many say hat if the Mac had a bigger "market share" things would be as bad for us?

I know most users are now protecting themselves with firewalls and making sure all the updates are there, but I still know users that refuse to install SP2 because someone told them that it stopped programs from working or it slowed the machine down! It eventually found 8 Virus/Trojans! and this from a PC's that was only on the net for about 2 Hours! I managed to get it to work by lowering the priority of the bad processes. I downloaded AVG antivirus to see how bad the infection was, this was not an easy task as the trojans were eating alot the the PC's CPU.

I left it running after about 50 mins a network admin message popped up saying that windows will shutdown.! Save to say that PC was now 0wn3d! Within minutes the computer started to run slow and then after about 30 mins the windows help service crashed. So I booted up Virtual PC with an unpatched version of windows and turned off the firewall and opened all the ports to that computer. I've been reading all the stories about PC's that are not behind a firewall etc can be infected in about 20mins by just sitting there.! I just had to see this for myself! Having "switched" a few year back our house has been PC free for a while now.
