Thanks for the heads up. The perceived security of macs makes them an easy target. By bragging about that robustness in their ads, they are basically painting a big bullseye on themselves for the hackers. It is basically challenging them straight up saying that their programmers are smarter than hackers. I also agree that their increased popularity definitely draws in the ones making money through spyware & adware.

There is a pretty simple reason why where wasn’t a virus from Mac OS Nine. The hackers had enough heart to not send a virus to someone who was already stuck with a far inferior Operation System. They felt for the poor bastards who had to day in and day out use something that was for one purpose, WORK.
