Because Mac has so few users, that there are few hackers willing to waste their time bothering with it.

Total garbage. Mac OS X is UNIX. Its more secure, and thus more difficult for malicious coders to infect. Windows is junk and its security is a joke. Thats why its easy to infect. OS X is inherently superior. Its high security has nothing to do with how many people use it.

Rubbish. There are at least 25 million Mac users worldwide. The last Mac virus I saw happened about 15 years ago, and there are no Mac viruses in circulation now.

Mac OS X is designed to be a secure operating system, so we don't have to waste our time dealing with worms, viruses and spyware infections like Windows users do.
