So is article this saying that Macs are the host carriers for viruses and malware?
Think about it, 1 in 5 macs have the stuff and it doesn’t affect them. However, you copy files from a mac to a flash drive and give it to a user with a PC and they could get infected with something. Of course, then the Mac user throws up their arms and says, “not my problem, I’m on a Mac.” I’m scared to accept files from Mac users now.
The files you are talking about are in Junk emails... photographs and imbedded viruses in trash emails. How many of your Mac using friends are going to forward Spam to you? How many are going to send you a Windows Executable program? Zero to none. Forget it.
