I heard Mac computers never have viruses. In fact, a recent Apple commercial I saw advertised that.

I always see people in the Apple Stores though, LOTS of people. Ipods are faulty..........

You have to remember that Windows computers have a Billon installed base. Its just a bigger target for hackers. Buts macs have far far less.

windows and apple computers need to have different viruses coded for them

There are 6 viruses recognized by Apple, with other 60 around. So, 66 viruses vs thousands...yeah, there are not really a threat (In two years I've never had any virus in my Mac, and I surf a lot on the web)

Mac OS X is fully capable of getting viruses. Due to its relative lack of marketshare and its UNIX foundation, it practically doesn't suffer from them.

Some hackers believe that the actual security of Macs is less than Windows, because Apple have not had to deal with security threats much so they don't implement good protection against certain attack vectors.

I try to keep my eye on Mac security threats. So far the most dangerous ones have been trojans distributed with illegal software downloads. I haven't seen any that don't require user interaction on some level, and as far as I know, most require an administrator password.

In nearly a decade working on Mac support for 50+ workstations, I've seen one harmless macrovirus which spreads though Office. I've spent more time dealing with false positives from our AV software or virus issues on our few Windows installations.

Security through obscurity isn't a guarantee, but it is real.

Plus it was the first labtop hacked when it came to a hacking context.

Went Apple, Windows, Linux if i remember correctly.

Because you can get free software with the same benefits? Because you can hack OS X onto a PC?

a mac pc connected to the internet is just as screwed as a windows pc would be.. in terms of spyware n trojans.. coz those infiltrate through browsers.

No; a virus written for Windows wouldn't affect an OS X system even if it entered through a browser.
