Message: [QUOTE="JordyG, post: 2154884, member: 6819"] From a virus standpoint the problem is the typical zero sum game. Windows OS occupies 97% of the worlds OS market. The rest (other) includes Mac OS, Linux and the host. Virus' are about eyes and opportunity. If you were a car mechanic opening his first shop, would you open to service only Renault's or would you service every possible car? It's the same with those guys manufacturing virus'. It's not that Mac's are virus invulnerable. That's complete and utter rubbish. Virus' are OS specific. Would you try to capture the attention of 97% of the people who own PC's or just the 3% of other? Symantec has reported that there are 40,000 new virus' a day targeting Windows. What's amazing is that there aren't more infections than there are. If you're a Windows owner you know that almost every Tuesday there are security updates. CHECK AND UPDATE YOUR COMPUTER REGULARLY. Use ad blockers, and stay away from dodgy sites. If you're a Mac owner as your market share increases so will Mac as a target for the disreputable. Symantec reports that the number of virus' targeting Mac OS is steadily on the rise. Good luck to the unprotected or those with Apple's marketing wool pulled over their eyes. Years ago there used to be a competition every year, a competition to show which OS was the most difficult to hack. They stopped this competition about 3 years ago because it became redundant. Every year hackers cracked Mac OS first and quickly. Windows usually won every year. It's a tough nut. [/QUOTE]
