Hi,
I was listening to the radio this morning and I heard that now that Apple has more than 16% (im not sure on the number) of the computer market, that it is now worth while for hackers to make attacks on OSX. Im not sure if this is related to Mac Defender.
I really don't want to get stuck in this virus trap again, like what happened to my PC. The whole reason I bought a mac was to not have viruses. Is there anything I can do to block any outside attacks? This may sound ludicrous, but I'm not sure what to think. If anyone can inform me on what to do or what not to do, that would be great.
Also, sorry if this is in the wrong forum, im not really sure where to put it :/
