[QUOTE="rustyk123, post: 1360979, member: 99923"] This used to be the case, not any more. Since about early in 2010 there have been a few big virus. Started off with people illegally downloading software. Since then it has grown very slightly. Apple has been releasing small updates to patch the OS before it is infected, but the known ones that I have heard of require you to type your password. Mac OS X has always had some pretty large security holes that are open for features built-in to the OS. Over the years, they are getting smaller and in some cases moving from one port number to another. They have been virus free for so long because the number of mac users was much lower than windows users, now they are catching up. [/QUOTE]
