You know all Mac users ?
I;ve had viruss on my Mac in the mid and late 80s under systemm 7.
But we no longer use system 7 or 8 or 9 now.
The viruses weren't very harmful either just a little annoying.
And there was a util called disinfectant that got rid of it, and it
didn't need to be run as part of the OS so didn't cause any problems and
was free.

You're confirming what I said, Mac users claimed nasty things didn't
happen to Macs. But we all know why that's true. **** all people have
macs so nobody bothers writing viruses for them!

So there's no virus's then so no problem.

Mac users CLAIM there are no viruses. But there are, just less of them.

nope. there are not, although there is other mac malware, almost all of
which is manually installed by tricking the user (not viral) and which
also has no relevance to the underlying os.

According to the latest numbers from NetMarketShare, the Mac now accounts
for 9.57 percent of all PCs currently in use. Windows is of course still
number one, with 88.77 percent of all usage. (Linux is in third, with 1.65
percent.)3 May 2016

So your '**** all' is quite high in numbers.

It's very low indeed, a ninth of Windows users in fact.

not on the desktop. a large number of windows systems are turnkey
systems, such as traffic lights, airport flight boards, medical
equipment, etc.

Just the weird ones
that buy shiny computers instead of functional ones.

nonsense. macs are more functional and can run more software than
windows pcs, and with a *much* longer useful life too.

So in theory 9.5% of viruses should be Mac but there's no where near that
many not even on ein the real world currently.

Erroneous calculation. If you were a criminal like Diesel and wanted to
write a nasty virus, you'd do it for maximum impact, you'd write a Windows
virus. Almost every virus writer will do the same.

except that very few mac users use antivirus tools making the potential
target much higher, plus the instant fame by being first to do so.

the reason there's no mac viruses is that writing one is for all
intents, not possible. other types of mac malware is possible, but it's
significantly more difficult to write for a wide variety of reasons,
making the return on investment not worthwhile.

windows and now android malware is *much* easier, resulting in a much
higher bang for the buck.
