To say that Mac has less viruses is fair, but to say none? Get the hell out of here.

Also, BSoDs don't happen for no reason.
The last one I got was from bad memory.
I switched out the ram, haven't had one in years now.

If Mac's don't get viruses, why does symantec (makers of Norton) make an anti-virus for Macs?

They are out there.

They make anti virus software for every major operating system.

They make it just to make money.


And Macs don't have as many viruses because nobody makes any for it - because nobody really has one.

That's changing though, sales have gone up dramatically.

Most of the Mac experts I know say that viruses are really nothing to worry about....many of them don't even recommend getting virus protection. There are a few bugs out there that target Macs though...just not nearly as many as there are aimed at PCs.

I am one of those people who would rather be safe than sorry, so I downloaded the free ClamXav for my Mac. Haven't had a single problem with it so far.

Also macs don't get Blue Screens of death, they get Grey Screens of Death GSOD, check the sig.

Exactly. Their software is crap enough, they wouldn't take away valuable time to make software for an OS that didn't need it.
