Apple realy no virus? No antivirus require?

no antivirus require, but mac sometimes had some hole & flaws, but it be fix by apple update..

Can u mention some examples of hole & flaws? SOmething like Freeze?

Got...apple got more virus then windose that apple gave up on creating anti virus for it... >.>

wahhh..really ?

gimme URL for that statement

have a read here: http://www.apple.com/getamac/viruses.html and that is true indeed, not just some apple advertising their own product.

in fact that microsoft developers spend a lot of time in improving and increasing security + its issue (because of virus treat, malware etc), while apple developer spend more time on improving the os itself (since they dont have much virus issue to deal with).

i cant remember where i read this,(probably in the papers) an antivirus corporation's staff was asked if macs will have any antivirus solution,and if not,why..
he said there are just too little viruses for the mac to warrant an antivirus application.

there are actually reported virus for mac. but the treat is just insignificant, hence it is better term as hole and flaws and security update from apple fixed it most of the time. that is why anti-virus software etc for mac is not necessary.

actually...the macs in my school are riddled with viruses cos the incompetent IT manager let a virus get in...stupid.

What virus is that?

My Ipod Nano got infected my Trojan Backdoor before... Not sure about Macs though...

some sort of macrovirus that affects every single effing thing on the macs...like word documents and stuff are all riddled..

this is because you are running FAT/FAT32 partition format

will not have virus if you running on Machintosh format

Just , read...There are , but the OS is soo solid that viruses can't even replicate and delete stuff

So it means that really no need to install any anti-virus whatsoever for my Macbook?

Why waste the HDD space installing such programs which were build to aid windose?

I dunno others but I've used Mac for the past 7 years, I never install any Antivirus til todate.

not necessary. just be cautious on what you open / run. that's it. no biggy, if the virus was made to harass windows then it wouldn't be working on the mac os in the first place.

also, nobody want to infect MAC anyway. Population too small. No point and no fun

hehe. ever tried to infect a unix-based system?
