    ^ There are mac viruses and spyware....that's such a myth.

    They are just not nearly as plentiful as with PC.

    • Which, in a sense, makes them even more dangerous. At least Win users expect to get hit.anairn
    • true, it's inevitable that as mac usage increases, so will viruses and spyware.designbot
    • most require you to type you password and install something though, there aren't many avenues in to elevated privileges like winacescence

    • very similar to pc, especially with spyware...you really need to click to install something. With viruses you usually need to click on an exe file or something similar.designbot
    • exe file or something similar. Though I know there are viruses that can propagate over networks w/o any input from the user.designbot
