[QUOTE="simonvee, post: 1581282, member: 316202"] That is highly interesting and insightful, thank you! With this newly acquired knowledge I can now explain, in laymen terms, to friends and family the topic of 'why Macs are more secure than Windows'. This replaces the typical explanation of 'I bought a Mac because it's more secure. It is because everyone says so... but I don't know why'. I see a robust argument in the debunk of the 'market share' theory. Before I was meant to say 'Anti-Malware Software'. I learned from McBie that Macs have other malwares but not viruses. I just have not heard 'Anti-Malware software' too frequently so I mistakenly said 'Anti-Virus software' instead. I also learned to use the correct term from now on or risk being ridiculed. [/QUOTE]
