Using your logic malware doesn’t exist because it has to self replicate and requires no user interaction. I’d say windows vista, 7 8 and 8.1 all merry your excuses that qualify for no issues with noting.

In fact I remember the excuses for malware not counting on Macs was that it only works on unmatched systems, user was required to click on link, and or machine had to be in internet. So worth those excuses out there I’d say windows had been pretty solid for the last 10 years.

Well, I gotta run off to dinner. Say, how 'bout you guys get this all settled up while I'm gone, will ya? You've got a day or so, as I'm not gonna be back online until late tomorrow.

It's D-Day -- don't forget to take a few minutes off and remember the guys that gave their lives so that we could have these stupid arguments.

Even if you count the Trojans, for-q, the total number of Trojans that have affected OS X Macs is fifty-seven including variations in eight families. The number of infections of the worst of them (not counting the so called reports of the amazing disappearing Macbots claimed by Dr. Web that turned to be hoaxes to sell their products since not a single infected Mac was ever found in the wild) were, for each of these Trojans, in each instance, were from zero to under 100 Macs, and often were listed as zero to under 50. See what the numbers were for your vaunted Windows?
