[QUOTE="jhelm007, post: 229656, member: 6916"] OS X requires a password to install software so if something is installed (i.e. malware) a user is aware of it and must enter a password to aprove the installation. This is not a default feature of Windows, so if something is installed the, user won't be aware of it until it starts eating files or spamming your buddy list or whatever. There is also the market share thing. Hackers as a rule would much rather cause trouble for large financial institutions and governments than professional photographers and pixar (or whatever the comon perception of the mac user is). That is my take on it anyway. [/QUOTE]
