heres the thing, mac owns about 7% percent of the computer market, no body cares about mac, why fish for bait when you can go after the big one. Im not saying one is better then the other, Im just saying Microsoft is just so much bigger, therefore theres no reason to write warms for macs, personally I'm a Linux/unix fan all the way.

That's what my cousing and I were saying the other day when we had a conversation about this topic.
We both wanted to know (because we don't know anything about computers) if people sit aorund making viruses or if they are a glitch in the system, or both? Anyone care to comment?

Exactly, But the more they gain in popularity the more chances that the "bug writers" will attack MAC.
Its only a matter of time.......

Macs can get viruses, they just arent as common, since, as was said in an earlier post, there arent as many macs out there as there are PCs...

Again, the case here is that Macs arent immune to viruses, there just isnt a large number of people out there writing them for Macs as they are for windows PCs

Viruses and Trojans are written by people. They arent just glitches. Most viruses are written to take advantage of inherrent vulnerabilities in an operating system.

Thanks guys for confirming once again that, yes, there are jerks in the world that are too immature to have a real life. I don't know whether to feel good that I'm not one of them or just be pissed that they actually exist.
