Article was Bogus: Do Mac Users not need Anti-Virus Protection?
Today I was having a discussion with a religious Mac fan claiming that the only problem with security on the Internet is Windows and then I read this article on ZDNet: Despite what blogs (and Apple) say, Macs will eventually have malware
In there it is referenced that the article I was quoting yesterday seems to have been bogus – see here: False Alarm: Apple Mac OS X Anti-Virus Recommendation Is Old
Now, it still seems that Apple users feel extremely safe – despite the fact that they have significantly more vulnerabilities than us. And it is just a matter of time and a matter of an attractive target until Mac will be attacked. It is ridiculous to think that anybody is safe – it is just a matter of economy: How much time and money do you want to invest in attacking a platform…
The three steps (Firewall, Computer Updates, AV-Software) to me are as important on Mac and Linux as they are on Windows
