//I’m still encountering people who, even after all these years, believe
that their Apple Mac computers are somehow magically invulnerable to
ever being infected by malware.

This is despite the fact that malware has been infecting different
incarnations of Apple computer for even longer than PCs, that macro
malware often doesn’t care what operating system you’re using, that
there are firms who had over 25 years’ worth of success developing
anti-virus software for Macs, and that even Apple itself has been
releasing updates to MacOS’s built-in anti-virus defences since 2009.

Yes, there’s a lot lot more malware for PCs than Macs, but that doesn’t mean that the problem doesn’t exist at all. And you may feel very smug
not running any type of anti-virus on your Mac, but you’ll probably have
the smile wiped off your face if you come a cropper.//
