TheRacerMaster Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 It was a fact. Macs can get viruses. It's just that the virus writers are targeting Windows because there are more computers using Windows. But now that Macs/OS X are getting more popular, it's just a matter of time before more viruses show up. No operating system is 100% secure. 2 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/278274-avira-antivirus-for-mac-released/#findComment-1843808 Share on other sites More sharing options...
