How often do you scan or computer for viruses and/or other risks?

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.

 Mac market share in the US is 14%, up 60% from last year. You might want to update your numbers ;)

The Mac is very secure for the same reason Linux is. They are both Unix derivatives, and when talking solid OS's, Linux and Mac OSX should get in the ring and fight. MS should just slowly, quietly, slip out the door and hope no one saw it at the party.

I thought the mac was the easiest of the three to hack/exploit, as demonstrated earlier this year.
