		<description><![CDATA[Ok so I want to set the record straight once and for all about all these advertisments stating that MAC does not get viruses. I personally have absolutly nothing against MAC I think they make a great computer. I am a Windows and Linux user so I am no going to show bias here and I will even include in my statement that Linux is not immuned to viruses as well. People it is all about the numbers here and what make more sense for the person writing the virus or malware as it is more commonly referred to know.

Physical security is the physical act of stopping an unauthorized user from using a computer. It doesn`t matter how up to date your virus scanner is, or how well your firewall works, if someone physically accesses your KVM for your servers then they have full access to everything. Here are five tips that can help you better secure your network.]]></description>
