Frequently the author of the article does not write the title of his article. This may or may not be the case here but it’s something that readers should always be aware of.
The author of the article makes the contention too.
“It’s been one of the key selling points of Macs for years: Computers made by Apple simply don’t get viruses, right?”
Then the proof of that contention does not support the thesis.
“Formerly, the Apple website featured a section entitled “It doesn’t get PC viruses,” that included the line, “A Mac isn’t susceptible to the thousands of viruses plaguing Windows-based computers.” Now, however, the site section has been changed to simply read “It’s built to be safe,” and touts the built-in defenses the Mac has against viruses.”
So, again I ask, when did Apple ever say that?
