When you question if the malware is successful today on OS X, that is a totally different ballgame. The answer to both questions of "Taint it sweet " is definitely YES and not NO as you suggested. with all due respect but it is not because something has not happened in the past that it can not happen in the next 5 minutes ( so to speak ) Let's hope that things work out that way.Ĭlick to expand.Hmmmm. If Apple raises the bar on security to the point where, after it takes many months and tens of thousands of dollars to create a piece of malware (that's what it reputedly took to create Mac Defender), and then after that effort a new piece of malware is blacklisted almost immediately so that the authors don't see a significant return on their investment, the incentive to write Mac malware will simply be gone.
Most malware writers these days are criminals who are in it to make money.

If Apple then adds another layer of protection that will thwart even the very few instances where someone has figured out how to write a piece of malware, it may be that in a very short period of time that Mac users won't have to "be careful" about anything.because there won't be anything to be careful to avoid. However, the Macintosh is already hard to write malware for.
(I recommend that business users have AV software, not because they *need* it, but because it is a "best practices" thing.) Click to expand.I agree with that, and that is the only form of malware protection that I currently recommend to most Mac users normally.
