| although it has nothing to do with macs being anywhere near impervious to viruses or attacks and everything to do with the fact that malware is relatively easily thwarted and as such most authors try to cast as wide a net as possible. Windows PC's have something over 90% market share and the vast majority of those users operate with Internet explorer. Likewise probably over 99% of all malwayre is disigned to exploit faults in windows, internet explorer, or some obscure plugin for IE like realplayer. if you use a mac or a linux box your more safe because people arn't trying to get you as much. If your on a PC Firefox is inherantly safer than IE, and its a powerhouse if you use the combination adblock/NoScript plugins for Firefox 3. And of course ceep your spyware/virus scan softweare regularly updated.
