[QUOTE="xosummerskies, post: 174506"] Right now, I have a Windows computer, and its great, but I'd really like my own personal laptop, so I've been thinking about getting an Apple Mac since they have a lot of cool features. However, I have one problem. I use a program called BitTorrent on my computer to download files (mainly video files). I haven't had a huge problem with viruses from BitTorrent, but I know it does carry viruses every once in a while. My question is, will I still be able to use BitTorrent on a Mac? Will I get viruses from it? I've heard Macs don't get viruses; is this true? I just need some consoltation on the entire process, actually. :) Thanks in advance for the help! :) -Shia [/QUOTE]
