i love their security claims. ha the main reason mac's are so damn virus free and shit is because people just don't give a shit to throw virus' on them. All business use pc's and thats why hackers and shit only mess with them. also due to the shit ton more users on windows and other reasons.

I love their security claim when all it amounts to is that they are just lucky enough to be being ignored by hackers

Then I must be freakishly lucky.

I've been using Macs since the 512k (over 20 years ago) and I haven't had a single day of downtime due to virus, trojan horse, worm, malware, etc.

Regardless of what the reasons are, Macs don't fall victim to all the common problems experienced by Windows users.

Yes, I do my own IT for Macs and Windows PC. I run virus, network protection, etc. on all PCs, and none on the Macs beyond the basic default security.

Still waiting for all those big holes in OSX security I never seem to run into. It would be a blast of fresh air to actually do some IT on any Mac for a change really.
