So again its just business as usual, don’t download files from emails sent to you by people you don’t know and you weren’t expecting then from people you do know. I know po about people a lot when I call then before sending an email with an attachment our after they send me any email but its a small inconvenience for security.

(this should have been a reply to knowledgenotebook)

Simply because its a mac doesn’t make it news unless you are a fanboy. Just send an email out to your mac users and send the interns on rounds to check the machines and personally confirm they read the email. While I personally would never voluntarily use a mac if given the choice I still feel that it is a shame your average mac user has to watch the news to find out about a new exploit when Apple should have alerted them the moment something was confirmed.

And if you are a student, give it some thought if Word is the right tool for you in the first place other than writing term paper etc. (in this case one needs a word processor for the task).

WRONG . Now macs are just like windows and the truth is that the hidden ones that are in use that look like windows OS.
