It’s the same result with a lot of other Macintosh users. I don’t run across any Macintosh user who ever tells of any problems with any viruses — at all. There are no reports of any Macintosh users being infected by viruses on Mac OS X operating system. They just don’t exist. So my experience is just like all the other Macintosh users.

The biggest argument in the Macintosh world — about viruses — is whether anyone who owns a Macintosh should ever bother with getting an anti-virus program. Many Macintosh users thinks it’s a scam for companies to sell an anti-virus program for the Macintosh.

For my part, I’ve got one, but it seems to be useless... it never registers a single peep about anything.

Again, as I said in my first post, it’s a numbers game. If someone gets their rocks off writing malicious code, they are going to write it for the most popular platform so it spreads as far and as quickly as it can. A Mac’s security is ONLY one that is by shear lack of interest, not designed in. It is the worst kind of security, born of a false notion, not rooted in reality. It breeds complacency....bad bad juju in the security world.
