In an effort to sell more software, Allan Bell would suggest that every Mac user should use virus scanning to protect the vulnerable Windows systems. Allan are you kidding? If the Windows machines are already using virus scanning how is the addition of scanning on invulnerable Macs going to help anything but your bottom line?

To demonstrate his poor grasp of mathmatics, Mr. Bell goes on to say, “There is a danger that organisations which are 100 per cent Macintosh and they are using Windows but are not frequent users of Windows, then they may not be aware of the security issues and could leave themselves open”. So the 100 percent Mac shops which also have some small percentage of Windows should be concerned. Hey wit a minute that’s greater than 100 percent. Ok so if you have a community of systems that is greater than 100 percent of your systems you should listen to Allan’s plee for more of your IT dollars.
