I'm so tired of this strawman. The Mac was never "magically immune" to malware. Just because technically challenged people believe that doesn't make it true, and there is no reason for us to "disprove" it with great fanfare every chance we get.


But aren't Macs billed as computers for "technically challenged" people? If a large portion of them believe they are getting a "magically immune" machine, wouldn't it make sense to try to remind them that this is not actually the case?


Ironically, if they actually did believe that to be the case, the MacDefender trojan would have never been an issue.
