He's showing how anything can get a virus.I work in electrical retail and you see all types coming back. Some people do not bover with virus checkers because they think they are too clever, some because they will just reload everytime,some because they never had a problem with viruse (even that viruses can work in stealth). Some people are ok, some people do reload and some people are beyond reloading their system.Easy thing to do, just load a viruse checker on your machine from a good company.

This is stupid... Who would download something from an unknown source? They'd have to be a moron... The guy is basically saying that in the video. Just look at all of the bad signs on that page!

Got eset and not get trojans or viri on the pc either, fanbois need to realise that there are sites out there that are designed to fool them and if they had no AV and went to the site listed, well who knows what they might lose :)

Never had a virus on mac !

What Apple means is there is no need to have anti-viruses as long as you don't install unknown programs. It's true that MACs cannot get viruses but they can get trojan and trojan isn't quite the same. You have to install trojan manually

Here are two, independent, unbiased news sources explaining why Macs are no more secure than Windows (and often quite less secure.)
Security through obscurity is not a good form of protection.
The only reason you're less likely to get a virus or some malware is because *you represent such an insignificant portion of computer users.*
