I am a PC guy, I am familiar with them and they do what I need them to do, but recently I have seen more people buying Macintosh computers, and being the curious type that I am I ask them why a Macintosh over a PC?
The biggest reason is that there is a belief that Macintosh computers are more secure, and that there are NO viruses or malware that target the Macintosh computer, an this is false.
Even today as I read some blog posts I find that there is a new Trojan for the Macintosh.
Why is there this Myth?
The main reason behind this is due to the fact that the PC controls 90% of the computer market, and in most cases those that develop viruses and malware want to target the greater audience to have the chance of causing the most damage or mayhem possible.
But, Macintosh computers are being more prominent and so they will have more viruses and malware designed to compromise them.
So be careful, and ensure that you are protected.
