Why don't Macs not virus and stuff?

Answer 1

they do just far less... anyone who tells you macs don't get viruses as well as pc is talking rubbish..

otherwise there would be no anti virus software for mac.

reason being , the target users far bigger on windows than it is on apple and linux. So a lot will want to cause the most headaches to the biggest number of users... (not apple owners)

Answer 2

1. It's harder to infiltrate Mac's operating system.

2. Fewer people use Macs, so virus-writers don't spend their time on them.

3. Mac users are smarter and would know if something was happening with their computer - PC users are less educated, generally speaking. Anyone can use a PC. It's mostly college-educated people who use Macs.

I've been using Macs for 8 years and never once had a virus.

Answer 3

It IS possible for them to get virri, but rare.

Reasons for their immunity??
Newer Macintosh operating systems, such as the Mac OS X, is built on the Unix kernel, which is one of the oldest and most secure operating systems available.
Microsoft Windows is used by a lot more users. Because more users use Microsoft Windows, it is a lot better of a target than Apple Macintosh computers.
Most of the virus writers are familiar with the IBM platform and Microsoft Windows, and therefore are only going to be able to create a virus for that platform.
Many of the tools and scripts used to help users create viruses or other malware are designed for Microsoft Windows. m Great machines!

Answer 4

Because if you were writing malware, would you target the operating system with a little tiny piece of the market share? And Macs do have vulnerabilities; it's just that no one cares enough to exploit them.

Answer 5

Cause no one makes viruses for Macs....99% of computers are PC's

there would be no point to target a MAC...they are rarely used
