    If an Apple computer has been infected with malware, when the machine is updated through Apple 'Updates', will such malware be automatically
    removed in the process, thus leaving the computer in a 'clean' condition
    once again?

    Why are you reading that thread when it's obvious bollocks from top to bottom.

    Huh? What on earth makes you suggest THAT, Tim? <frown>

    Is there something in particular with which you take issue

    The Village Idiot is "reading" that thread because HE started the thread.

    This is how The Village Idiot operates. He starts a topic on the Apple
    forums, then posts a link here of the type "Gee look at this really
    interesting thread I stumbled across. You should check it out!"

    The funny part is, The Village Idiot has done this before, with this
    same GD Apple thread, many months ago. But he is so fucking stupid he
    does not remember it.

    The Village Idiot is best ignored.
