viri on Mac OS X
Authored by: mickeycoke on Sep 20, '02 12:35:27AM

Could someone please update me on the vulnerablity of Macs to viruses. I have only had the virus experience on Windows. I guess I need to be woken to the reality that they exist where I have never had problems before. After you educate me on "Mac viri vulnerability" could you educate me on why apple offers virus software on Idisk?

thanks!

of course everything might change in the future....
but there isn't much of a virus exposure on the mac platform and there is even less in macosx
why does apple offer virus protection on iDisk?

....marketing

Even though it is very unlikely that a virus will affect a Mac machine directly, nevertheless they may be use to transfer viruses to Windows machines by simple communication via email.
