   This is not entirely true. In the past, the Mac system didn’t really lend itself to viruses, but the main reason was that the market was so specialized and PCs were everywhere that hackers didn’t really bother to write viruses for Macs. New Macs are every bit as susceptible as any PC. Check on Google for your software.

   Well Macs CAN get viruses. But think of it this way:
   You’re a virus developer, and you’re getting paid by an anonymous company to show advertisements for their product on every computer you infect.
   PCs are 90% of the market, and Macs are 10% of the market.
   Which one would YOU target? Obviously PCs, because you’d be making more money.
   Thus, there are very few viruses for Macs, and more for PCs.
   I would recommend getting a PC unless you’re using it strictly for art or social networking, in which case Macs are fine.

   There are viruses for Macs, just not very many of them. But people get infected with viruses for being careless online, it’s that simple.
