Personally, I’m sick and tired of all of these security firms coming up with over exaggerated or false security threats about OSX. The truth is, this is just a ploy to make more money, causing people to panic if their computers in danger, so they buy their software. Now that macs are becoming more and more popular, expect to see some of these anti-virus, malware, security software companies claiming how unsafe OSX is without their software.

I know OSX isn’t 100% secure, but neither is any OS. I do think OSX is much more secure and safer than windows by far! It’s amazing how many windows computers I fix a week because of malware, viruses and trojans, but I’ve never seen a mac computer come in for any of these issues.

I know lots of mac users, read various mac forums for years and have yet to seen anyone infected with a virus, malware or anything destructive (except for intuits upgrade disaster). Sure as Mac’s come more popular, expect to hear of some attempts, but right now there’s absolutely nothing to worry about, save your money.
