A nonexistent Mac OS will be running on the Android platform on iPhones?
Do you ever think before you post? That's quite possibly the dumbest

Your "friend" knows nothing or you misunderstood.

There is no such thing as Mac Os 11.

I think he's referring to iOS 11 which, as far as I know, exists.

Say what you wish mac's can get viruses and malware just as easy as a pc.
It's a proven fact .
The fact is you and hawk and the other trolls cant stand that some one other
then you is right.
Hawk would not give a person credit for being right unless it was HIM.
I really don't care what you or hawk or the other trolls think.

Well in that case there is no malware AND no viruses, so he;'s still an
idiot and still wrong.

Well, he pointed out that people are _trying_ to attack iOS 11 which
is essentially true of pretty much every operating system under the
sun. As such, let's all agree to compromise and call him a half-wit.

**** off.

Windows can essentially get infected in a drive-by way as a result of
nefarious javacript on certain websites. Neither Linux nor Mac OS
allows for such a thing. Anyone who believes that Windows Defender is
sufficient protection or that Windows doesn't need anti-malware is
just fooling himself.

Hi :-)

I'm still learning about such matters. Can you provide any specific
evidence that someone using OSX can *not* be 'infected' simply by
visiting a 'contaminated' web site or, maybe, by clicking on a link?

Your advice will be appreciated.

I'm not too familiar with Mac OS as much as I used to be when I used
it exclusively (back in 2003-2005) but as far as I know, any program
looking to compromise Mac OS would have to convince the user to enter
their password. That password is necessary for a program - whether
innocent or nefarious - to make any changes to the system software. In
Windows, it's just a matter of getting the user to click OK rather
than Cancel during an installation, something that most users seem to
do without a second thought. According to Microsoft, if people didn't
automatically click OK there, 94% of the malware wouldn't affect them
at all. The rest seem to take advantage of bugs which have been known
for a long time and remain unpatched by users, such as holes in Flash
software or long-ago-reported issues in Windows itself.

Nowhere near as easily. Which is why, in the Mac world you hear about
"threats and vulnerabilities" but not many actual infections. When they
occur, it is at a small scale, quickly identified, easily remedied and
permanently sealed.

Not to say it's a non-issue. Since threats get identified and patched
on Mac OS. Usually long before exploitation can occur.

OTOH, I've run for a decade with no malware protection on my Macs (Mine,
several at work, SO's, son's). No infections at all. As a precaution I
run "Malwarebytes" once every few months. Never hit a thing.

Nobody could run a Windows PC for more than a few months in ordinary use
w/o getting infected. Never mind a decade over several machines.

For several years I have run McAfee, Super anti Spyware and Malware
Bytes on my W10 systems. I don't recall McAfee ever declaring that
it's found anything. Super anti Spyware occasionally finds something.
Malwarebytes regularly gets all concerned about utility files such as
Driver Detective. But I have had nothing serious as far as I know.
