compared to PCs they dont, but they still do. Now one in every four personal computers sold are apple made, as they got more popular, they got more viruses.
Market share has nothing to do with the non-existence of Mac OS X viruses, it is the underlying system, that prevents the privilege escalation a virus needs.
Look for "The Mac OS X Malware Myth Continues" to learn more about that.
Look for the "Mac Virus / Malware Guide" on MacRumors to learn more about Mac OS X and available malware and the differences and ways to protect yourself.
@FlyingLaptop That's what some fans say. I own Apple products and I love them but viruses do exist for the Mac. Apple even said so on it's Snow Leopard page.
Legos your wrong. Apple do a lot of it. The new release of 10.6.4 was mainly a security update. It don´t exist viruses for mac! Apple take this issue very seriously it´s all about reputation and selling stuff... Market share is no real reason os virus creating. Because why? This guy would become famous. Every hacker would do a lot to be the first one who had fucked Apple. Never less i secure my self twice thats the only reason why i use a antivirus app.
@SWBF4756294387 Are you dumb... thought there aren't many virus for mac, they exist and with all the increasing users base the amount of virus will increase exponentially!
Come on the only reason for your computer to not be infected is because hackers are concentrated in ass fucking windows meanwhile mac's are still a minority that wouldn't turn out in big damage if infected...
Is not because apple doesn't want it, hackers do what they want, It can take more time or less time but they can do whatever they want, just look on who they jailbreak Iphones and ipods before they are even released!

Sorry dude. Avast blows; isn't real-time. Same for ClamXav. You would constantly be having to scan files. Get iAntivirus. Best free one out there.

@satointl Good point. I will try that out. Clamxav does indeed suck. iantivirus. thanks. or AVG.

@LegosAndBeer correction, there are NONE. And they will be hard to spread because apple would be all over it.

I don't see apple doing anything about that.
Its just a question of time, and believe me saying that it's impenetrable is just giving reasons for the linux guys to start the party!

Linux guys are too busy getting the bugs out of Linux to spend time creating viruses.
