How come Macs never get viruses?

The "gentlemen", who are programming viruses & trojans, are concentrating on the clear market leader Windows.

It's just that Apple has a 3 % market share with computers (6 % in the US) but a 0.0001 % market share with malware. Macs must be safer, at least compared to the average Windows machine.

Yes, this argument is used often and I won't contradict. As I'm not an expert whatsoever, I don't know if it's really true that Mac OS is generally safer or if it's just the fact that virus programmers are concentrating on Windows.

I'm just happy that I don't have to run scans on my iMac and I hope it stays that way.
