More bad news for the MAC
The Apple computer has been a long haven for safety, however, the experts now say that there are growing security risks. New viruses are attacking the Apple Mac OSX operating system and especially the Apple Tiger operating system. I cannot be more than a coincidence that the Apple has shifted away from the Power PC processor to a new Intel processor which has meant the operating system had to be rewritten for the new processing hardware.
Virus headaches are hardly unusual for computer users that run Microsoft Corp.'s Windows operating system. However, more and more we are hearing from Apple Mac users finding that when they have click on a website certain commands are being run in the heart of the operating system.
After surviving unscathed from the onslaught of viruses and other computer malware unleashed on the Internet over the past decade, Mac aficionados can no longer take for granted they are immune to such attacks, security experts said.Source: http://www.gameshout.com/news/apple_mac_is_a_growing_security_risk/article5132.htm
