[QUOTE="simonvee, post: 1581155, member: 316202"] Firstly: Sometimes I hear that there are no viruses for Macs and sometimes I hear there are a few viruses for Macs. Can somebody clear this up? Perhaps the latter refers to Malware? Secondly: What is it about Mac OS that it cannot get viruses? What is it about Windows that it is prone to so many virus attacks? I have heard about the market share explanation but I would like to hopefully understand about the programming explanation (in laymen terms). [/QUOTE]
