[QUOTE="simonvee, post: 1581168, member: 316202"] To summarize what you have said before: "there are many layers of code written on top of Unix to make it OS X" So in other words, there are many layers as opposed to one or a couple of layers of code written on Unix to make it secure. Can't MS do the same with their OS? The reality is there are Malwares for OSX. Yet, so many people who I have spoken to do not use antivirus for their Macs. What are the anti-virus software are there for OSX? May I ask you do you use anti-virus software? [/QUOTE]
