BENEFITS WHY A MAC IS SAFER THAN A PC TO VIRUSES WORMS, TROJAN HORSES, ETC? COMING
Enrique Dans
has convinced us. In his blog, April 15, 2007, bluntly debunked the myth that the only reason that viruses exist for Mac is its low penetration in the PC market. Enrique Dans argues his theory as follows. "Considering that one of the most important reasons leading to an author of a virus to a virus program is the ego ... would not the incentive of being the first to create a virus for that platform important enough that these authors put try? And knowing, as we know, there is a gradual shift from "virus for fun" to "virus for business", ie from virus program to develop and demonstrate skills egos, to do to develop activities of organized crime linked to the capture of sensitive information, Would not the Mac user community an attractive target?

The core of Mac OS X, BSD Unix, has more than two decades as open source operating system. During those two decades, everyone could have put their noses in it, correct all correctable and suggest improvements. That, and nothing else, is why we have not seen any noteworthy virus only for those operating systems. The key is the foundation of the operating system if it is built on a bad, everything you put on top will suffer accordingly.
When Apple decided to switch from Mac OS 9 to Mac OS X, it was with every intention of developing a solid foundation for the future, although that included breaking compatibility with the above. Microsoft, however, has never been able to make that decision, has maintained backwards compatibility, and now pays the consequences and makes us pay for everyone else, we get, for example, tons of spam from zombie PCs easily attackable by being based on Windows.
While no computer connected to the Internet is 100% free of attack, Mac OS X Mac helps to maintain an iron through its UNIX foundation and security measures that exceed the norm for PCs. When you get a Mac, only your enthusiasm is contagious.
Connecting a PC to the Internet using factory settings is like leaving your front door open with your prized possessions on the sideboard in the lounge. By contrast, a Mac shuts and locks, hides the key, and stores these belongings in a safe whose combination only you know. On a PC, you have to buy, configure and maintain protection as essential.
On a Windows computer, applications (both good and bad) can change the system without you knowing about. For any application to change adjustment of Mac OS X, you need to enter your password. You decide, approving any changes to the system. People trying to squeeze into a computer a malicious program hidden behind the appearance of an image, a movie or other seemingly harmless file. You can download these files from the Internet or receive them by mail or express courier. A PC just download them without reviewing them. But a Mac will let you know that maybe it is a wolf in sheep's clothing. Safari, the Mac Web browser, knows the difference between a file and a program, and notifies you each time you download the latter. Objectively one can say that a Mac that works with the factory settings protects you from viruses much better than a PC, but never a bad idea to have some other additional antivirus program.
CONCLUSION: EN MAC, JUST ARE VIRUS. AND THIS IS NOT BECAUSE THEIR MARKET SHARE IS DOWN AND NOT INTERESTED IN THIS PLATFORM ATTACK, simply because they are safer than PCs running Windows. THAT SIMPLE.
