Your time has come

The perennial cry of the Mac user: “haha, but I have no viruses” can no longer be heard. Now that the Mac has become as ubiquitous as the Big Mac, those dastardly virus developers have set their sights on a new horizon.

In fact, I’d wager we’ll see the birth of a new virus problem targeting Macs more than PCs as PC security gets tighter and Mac users still think they are invincible. It is like showing an auto thief a choice between a car that is locked but he knows how to disable (PC) or a car with the door open and the keys in the ignition (Mac). Years ago the argument was that the Mac car couldn’t be stolen because it would be like driving down the street in a stolen Vector – it would be hard to blend in. Now, however, we can liken PCs to Corollas and Macs to Civics. The Civic may look more stylish – but they can both be found on any American street and are thus equally vulnerable.
