The Study Of The
Security Company Sophos Found
One In Five Has Mac
Malware.
After An Analysis Of 100,000 Macs In The Company Free Anti-Virus Software, Sophos Discovered A Number Of Apple Computers Have Windows Malware.
In Addition, Approximately 1 In Every 36 Macs Had Malware Specifically Targeting Mac OS X.
"Some Mac Users May Be Relieved To Seven Times More Likely To Get Windows Viruses, Spyware And Trojans On Their Mac, Mac OS X-Specific Malware, But Malware For The Mac Is Surprisingly Common," Said Graham Cluley, Senior Technology Consultant At Sophos, Said In A Statement.
Although Macs Are Not Directly Affected By Windows Malware, Users Are Not In The Clear, Sophos Warns. You Can Still Spread Malicious Software From Computers "Via USB, Email Attachments, Web Download, Or Even A Silent Drive-By Facility, Where The User Is Not Aware Of The Safety Your Mac Is Undermined," Said Cluley.
Why The Mac Is A Major Objective? Most Cluley Notes Not Run Antivirus Software, And The Average Mac Users Have More Disposable Income Than The Average PC User.
