[SOLVED] Secunia: Apple makes the most vulnerable software in the market today

I'm just surprised Cat that you manage to have so much grief. Remembering that I play in both camps Windows and Apple I'm just surprised at what happened to you. I tried Safari on my windows machine, no dramas, just did not like the format so much.
Run Safari all the time on my Macs and never had issues. I do go into the occasional porn site myself ;-).
Sounds as if you must have just about worn the tracks off your HDD in cleaning it, certainly nuked it good a proper. :-)

I believe that's what happened, some (if not all) tracks were worn down. For the time being, the SMART program reports the drive is healthy, although I can't understand how a disc that I have to run the chkdsk /r command on about three times a week can be considered healthy. Not to mention the multiple software errors that I have and report on a daily basis.

And it's not the RAM, I've ran the MEM TEST 86 on it three times since cleaning and reinstalling the chip, it checks out good. I'm still surprised that the RAM stick was so dirty, considering it was refurbished by Dell itself.

And finally, I've gotten it to run a little cooler, I held the vaccum hose to the grooves, and ran it for a couple of minutes, that alone got the CPU temp to drop 25C, and the bottom is cooler, too. No more temperature warnings, at least for now.

And another good thing, I thought the warranty expired in October of this year, it's actually October 2011, so that gives me plenty of time to save for my next one, I'm trying to baby it, only using it for folding. Mabye it will last a few more months.
