Why do you need to take it in for 4 viruses? If you know you HAVE 4 viruses, you should have a virus scanner which would get rid of em.

Basiclly it was vista that ate away my anti-virus software and when that happened everything just went to hell and Limewire made it tens times worse, and mac is the only laptop I can find cheap hell at Dell for an xp laptop it starts at 2,000.

You do realize you can't get viruses from Limewire unless you download Executable files(and that doesn't always happen!) or obviously idiotic songs? Simply having it doesn't give you viruses. I've used it for 3 years, with a library of over 200 songs and I've been virus free.

...You obviously have little to no computer knowledge.

Go ahead and buy your mac, but donate your computer to a good home.

Reinstall your fucking operating system after backing up important files.  You most likely have a Windows COA sticker somewhere on the case and a Windows/branded reconfiguration disc.  Not hard and costs nothing to fix, only at most a few hours to install and configure which is not hard, it walks you through it.

You should not be allowed to be near computers.

If you don't know how to reinstall your OS or get rid of the viruses, I would strongly recommend a MacBook. Don't get the MacBook Air because it's slow, but the MacBook and the MacBook Pro are very good laptops. They may seem a bit pricey, but, believe me, Apple's computers are about the same price as any other equally equipped computer/laptop.

With a Mac, you won't have to worry about viruses and they are super-simple to use (it's made so you can't mess it up). The newest Mac OS, Leopard, has been called the best operating system "for the vast majority of consumers. (PC Magazine)"

Post back what you get!
