My Dads workplace has has 2 mac viruses----- in 13 years!



mac give you free updates every month that eliminate current viruses and so the virus pool is always miminal



Mac watch your back, you are on your own with a PC!



Can apple macs get viruses ?best antivirus software



Yeah they can, but I don't think they are as succeptible to getting them as PCs.



Can apple macs get viruses ?firewall



Yes
Yes they can! I've seen it, don't let anyone tell u they can't



Not to mention trojans, worms, and other security flaws.
Yes they can , but because of the os, hackers do not target them as often, for instance, last year Windows os,s 400,000



Mac os 4,000
Yes.



The only way that it couldn't get viruses (100% sure) is if it's not connected to the interent, and if it never is connected to a device that has had contact with the internet somehow (USB flashdrives, external hardrives, networked w/ other computers, etc.)
nope other brands can though not macs
Yes its a common myth macs dont get viruses because most viruses are made for WIndows(PC) because its a more common verison of a OS than Macs.
YES, THEY CAN.THAT'S BECAUSE THERE ISN'T A COMPUTER IN THE WORLD THAT IS TOTALLY VIRUS PROOF, IT'S ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO MAKE ONE THAT IS BECAUSE MORE AND MORE TYPES OF VIRUS' ARE BEING CREATED.
