Yep. Laptops and Desktops with the same operating system get the same viruses. Apple and Macs are tougher to infect but still get a flu once in a while. If you're a windows user, better have an updated anti-virus, anti-spyware program.

No stupid answers here, Rozie37. You ask a perfectly valid question. In answer, a laptop can get a virus just the same as a PC with the same operating system. However, Mac OS does have a couple advantages over Windows. Mac OS has a tougher shell design than even Windows Vista, though still not invincible (there are Mac viruses out there as well). It also has the advantage of obscurity, only holding about 2% of the global market. Whatever operating system you use, "Better safe than sorry" is my philosophy. Every personal computer should have antivirus, antispyware, and firewall.
