Thats the beauty of Macs. No Viruses, worms, or major security problems.
Another reason to stay away from Windows
Mac OS X in fact have less than 40 known viruses. Almost all of them are macros and all extinct
Well there is more or less one reason that macs don't viruses.
Macs don't have any barging basement computers (Sub $500). Most computer viruses are made in China/Asia. These people don't have the money to buy macs. So they buy low cost PC with Winders and/or Linux x86. They write programs that usually eventually spread around to the entire world.
Another reason that they aren't many viruses or security problems on the Mac is because people always look for security flaws and report it to Apple. Over the years there have been many security updates for OS X that correct minor flaws.
Why do you hate macs? Or better yet have you even tried Mac OS X, or do you have some deep hatred for something you don't know.
Both systems have its up and downs.
