My Friend's Computer
Personally, I have never had any experiences with viruses or breached security with my macs (knock on wood). However, my roommate hasn't had as much luck. Last year, while on spring break, he brought his laptop home and allowed his younger sister use it. It didn't take long before she opened an email with a trojan virus. His laptop ended up losing all it's documents and even got to the point of not starting up properly. Thankfully, when he got back to school, VT's tech services was able to retrieve most files and rid the trojan virus off his computer. He has now learned the lesson to not share computers with younger siblings.

I am very possesive of my laptop. My mother gets upset with me when I password stuff, but your story gives me justification to do so!
