If she hasn't bought one yet, try to get her to use a mac. They are easier on people who don't know much about what they are doing and less prone to attacks.
U shouldn't tell people they are less prone. They can get infected and the virus is norm far worse than what you find on windows. There was a pretty bad one that they fixed earlier this year(after 6 months) and only for the newest ver of osx and iirc it wasn't a total fix. I will give it to you that they are a bit easier for people to use who are not tech savvy but they do still need to watch out for viruses.

Yeap, the amount of viruses targeting mac's has increased a lot over the last few years and the problem is that the OS limits your access so much it very hard to manually remove them if apple hasn't made a work around yet, it not as safe as it once was and what once made it safer is causing some problems.

ive just puchased all my stuff to get started, 1.5L VG 1L PG, 250ml of 100mg nic and 20 different flavours in 20 ml sizes (along with bottles and syringes etc), it was an expensive week but im very very excited to get started :shock::lol::w00t:

Next month I'll be ordering some DIY stuff, I already have 1 gallon of PG and 1 Liter of VG I got locally for cheap! Once I get back to work I'll be ordering Flavors and Nic my first paycheck! :D

I didn't say they never get hit, just are less prone for it. Windows gets hit all the time, Apple not so much.

I haven't had a virus in 2-3 years(windows 7), apple gets hit all the time too the OS just doesn't tell you about it >.>
And apple wants to ignore it. That's my biggest issue with it. With windows if you pay attention and don't click on those nice shiny ads its pretty hard to get one. I have not had one since XP days. With windows if you do get one they are norm fairly easy to get rid of same cannot be said for macs

It's a king of the hill thing. Now it is Apples turn.:D

Hackers always target the most popular and claimed most hack proof.
Top Banks
Top Governments
Top OS
:shock:

I really despise Basement dwelling Troll mentalities :facepalm:
Though I know we are not targets...........just casualties.

As a tech guy have to say no system is fully protected.
Here is a list of most popular operating systems listed protection wise.
Desktop OS:
1. Linux
2.Windows 8
3.Mac

Mobile OS:
1.Rim OS(Blackberry)
2.Windows Phone
3.Apple iOS
4.Android(probably the weakest one due to latest "Stagefright" exploit)
