Yeah, keep saying that and maybe you'll believe it yourselves some day. Mac OS X does not get viruses because it is less popular than Windows, not because it is any more secure! LOL!
Read this excellent little article written by someone on the Internet. I forgot the name of the author so sorry for not being able to credit him/her:
What is the biggest annoyance on Windows? It is highly insecure and can be completely compromised if not taken care of absolutely religiously. What is the most convenient feature of a Mac? It is highly secure and you do not need to worry about anything. I will spell it out for you – Mac OS X has not has a single virus in the wild since its public release in 2001. It comes with a strong firewall and has always been and still stands tall as the most secure operating system out there. Some people point it out that this is due to the extremely low market share Macs have when compared to Windows. These same people also say that Macs will never gain any significant market share and will always remain the underdog. It does not take a genius to figure out that the combined lesson from both statements is that Macs will never suffer from the problem of viruses and malware. Basically, that’s the end of the story but I’ll expound on it a bit more so that it is lengthy enough!
A lot of people claim that the reason the low market share is the only reason Macs have escaped the prying eyes of malicious hackers all this while and that the security framework of Mac OS X is just as strong/weak as Windows'. However, I can think of two controversies arising from this opinion. The first one is why it wasn’t the same case with Mac OS 9. It had an even lower market share than Mac OS X has and Windows was even less secure in the days of Windows 95 and 98. Why then did Mac OS 9 have a sizeable number of viruses out in the wild targeted and designed for it?
Another contradiction to the original theory is the fact that Mac OS X has an immense list of applications designed for it. Sure, the amount of software available for the Mac platform is a far cry from the millions of applications available for Windows but it is more than five percent, which is Apple’s share in the computer market. Both virus writers and software developers are essentially hackers who do it for the challenge of the job and the fame and money involved. How is it justified then, that software developers see the Macintosh as a viable option to devote their efforts to while virus writers do not? The sole answer is that while it is very easy to write software for the Mac using Apple’s excellent Xcode developer tools, it is just as hard to write malicious code that can seriously damage Mac OS X.
But regardless of whatever you believe, the reasons matter little at the end of the day. What matters is that millions of Mac users around the globe are surfing the Internet and downloading files without any extra protective software installed and don’t have to worry about the security of their computer, while Windows users are spending lot of time and money into keeping their computer up to date with anti-spyware, anti-adware and anti-virus software and their regular definition updates – and they are still suffering from security related problems.
I think it does a very good job of addressing Mac OS X security concerns and so do some of my friends who have read this.
What do you guys think? (I know it is impossible for some of you to be objective, but give it a try, it is not that hard.)
