There are viruses on any OS, it is just that windows is by far the most used so no one will bother to even learn about a new and unfamiliar OS. That isn't to say there aren't simple MAC viruses which steal data, keylog for credit cards, etc. just like on Windows.. in fact windows has a lot of undetected ones even with the anti-viruses, firewalls, etc. which either screw up your system for amusement or do the same thing as above.
Rootkits are the #1 security threat on Macs as of today. Worms, Trojans and Macroviruses follow closely behind. You're absolutely right about the reason for less Mac viruses. I keep trying to explain it to people who say Macs are of better quality. If Apple sold 10,000 macs in one month, and PCs sold 1,000,000 units per month, you'd obviously see far, far more technical issues popping up. The much lower adoption rate of Mac creates the illusion of quality where there is none.
the creeper was the first virus. it was harmless and the first anti virus was created. it was called the reaper. the elk cloner was alike in the way it infects but it affected the apple 2 and it didnt do much. the elk cloner was a the first mac virus when mac was called a apple
@nathanjames098 As a Mac user, they can get viruses. I've never had one in 5 years though, and I certainly don't use virus protection software which eats away at your CPU performance.
macs dont get virus because every thing supports on windows the more people who use
windows the more people who make virus for windows!!
infact the virus software on windows can remove it in 27.7 seconds!! or less malware 5.4 seconds. AND WY DOES APPLE HATE WINDOWS ESPECAILY WINDOWS 7 BECAUSE THEY FIX ALL THE PROBLEMS FROM VISTA AND IF YOU GET VISTA IN 64 BIT IT DOESNT HAVE ANY PROBLEMS!! I GOT A VIRUS WHEN I WENT ON THE APPLE WEBSITE FOR NO REASEAN MALWARE!

does anyone know how i can get rid of a boot sector virus, apparantly i have one in my pc because i whenever im surfing the net the screen freezes and i the keyboard and mouse wont work and the blue screen of death appears, so i took it to a repair centre and they said i have a boot sector virus and the hardware is ok i have two hard drives in it and hd 5770 ati xfx 1gb and 2gb ram, 2x 64 amd. and he said all the hard ware is fine. im not very techy but i thought i would ask thanks
@skyla20 the only way to get rid of that boot sector virus is to do a low level format using ur hard drive manufacturers software, only way i got it off my external hard drive. not even a regular format worked

Once the Virus has been activated, it will run for (either 30 seconds or one minute--can't remember). After that, everything goes back to the way it was before the virus is activated. There are no permanent effects whatsoever.
what i cant understand, is why someone would like to destroy other peoples hard drives, do they jerk of watching other peoples computers get fucked up, because of their virus... i dont get it???
@skogis06 I Totally agree. BUT I like to make FAKE Viruses. it says "You have a virus" or something like that, then it makes you shutdown. its not harmful to computer though, it just a joke.
@skogis06 Yup, i ussually hide around and wait for the victim to come, then after they shut down, i tell them it was fake, and how to fix it. its fun. :)
People are ignorant when it comes to viruses. Do you even know who makes viruses? Think about those viruses that harm your computer, but with no personal gain for the attacker. So why bother, right? WRONG. Who profits from a virus that doesn't steal any information, but simply just jacks up your operating system? The AntiVirus companies! So why do Macs have less viruses? Simple; Supply and Demand. Less Supply of Viruses, Less Demand on AntiVirus software.
First time in history there is real gravity in an OS? I guess you've never used Gravité for Mac OS 7 then. :P (old-schoolers unite, yeah!)
Also, @EdgeOfPain... *what*? No, Mac OS is not 'based on Linux'! it's got a BSD Unix compatibility layer, and that layer and the kernel are open source. The UI and most everything else you'd normally associate with "being a Mac" is *not* open source.
Especially good, and funniest, because when you rotate your Mac (if you use Macbook) the screen will follow the turns of the Mac screen rotation (if you use Macbook too!)
Its very funny, Do it at your friends computers (if your friends computer is a Mac) and start annoy/scare your friends
....hmmm... mac has tilt sensitivity. WTF STEVE JOBBS really? fucking macs suck, instead of being useful they devevope that..... really... D:
i hate macs. they cost so fucking much seen a 6k$ comp and it had shit for it, basic mac software and A SHIT LOAD OF *TRIALS* omg mac sucks ass.
u look, mac (best comp they got 6000$) = MAC OS + TRIALS X 100 or Windows (Alienware computer [best alienware comp] 4000$) = Equipped with the Active Venting Thermal Management System A LIQUID COOLING SYSTEM

@tatertots900 the thing is you don't get what you pay for at all. you can get the exact same specs in a regular pc for less than half the price. not to mention a pc is far more compatible with any hardware that you want to buy (ie you can upgrade the GPU, CPU, RAM, mobo, cooling, or storage far easier). there are also far more choices aesthetically when you buy a PC than a mac.
@travazoid911 alienware is where you wnt wrong in that rant, never use alienware as comparison to anything.... dell is just as fucking bad as alienware. Go build your own computer
@mindkilla123 u dumb shit, dell didn't make it, they just host it, like walmart hosts products, macs hold all the boring shit there known for, but then they say windows is just good for games, LOOK CLOSELY they have had BETTER software then them for years. Fuck this no use arguing with an idiot.
@travazoid911 i wasn't defending macs, i have never owned a mac so i'm not pithing toward that but i've owned dells and alienware are as much dell as ipod is apple
@Ronnie51026 they put accelerometers into their laptops for a while now. in the event of you dropping your macbook, the accelerometer senses the g force and shuts down the hard drive to prepare for impact. not very useful, but it is pretty cool.
the accelerometers are build in for min 2 years or more... they build it in at the beginning, so that the hdd gets protected, when the notebook should fall down...
@Ronnie51026 Since the MacBooks were released, all MacBooks have accelerometers, it's main feature was to prepare the hard drive for a fall to prevent damage if dropped, but is accessable to any software coded for accelerometers
@Ronnie51026 Since like forever... I know my old PowerBook G4 had one, and all the newer models have them. They're to shut off the hard drive if it senses that it's falling.
@Ronnie51026 Well sorry! Your question has 22 thumbs up from other people that apparently didn't know this, so it will be there for a while. You're gonna get answers. Deal with it.
@GavinRoskamp I got answers and most people see the @Ronnie51026 s up and down the page and happen to see that an answer is there and just think not to answer again.
@Ronnie51026 It's not using an accelerometer, it's using the Sudden Motion Detector that Apple builds in every macbook. It detects when you drop your laptop and it auto-locks your hardrive to prevent data loss. At least that was it's original purpose.... :)
@alexander9619 Lol you state that it's not an accelerometer, yet your description of what it is describes perfectly an accelerometer. It's like saying "this isn't an apple. This is a fruit that grows from an apple tree".
@Ronnie51026 They have for a long time. In case it falls off a desk or something, it will stop spinning the hard drive so you don't have a head crash.
@SmallxTaylor wait just a minute smarty pants! actually it's not a video. it works with the accelerometer inside the mac. pressing esc on mac os 10.6 wont stop any video btw.
@MovingContradiction lol yea really ticksme off when people say its because no one uses them makes me laugh sooo much when apple has 25% of the market
Actually, Macs generally aren't the target of viruses simply due to there minor popularity. Yes, they are 25% of the market, but that is still a nominally small figure as compared to the other 70%+ of PC based users. Macs still aren't a big enough target for people to take the time to write viruses for them. If they hit that 50% benchmark, you'll soon see that change.
@purekf Actually, I know someone who bases all of his Mac hacking/virus making off from the idea that each new OS for Macs is just a build on the previous shell, and getting into the base shell is relatively easy (when dealing with the average Mac user who DOESN'T set up their comp security but leaves it "as is" (out of the box) in security terms). Basically, it depends on who you are and what you know.
@ninja8745 it isn't a flaw in the screen pref. its a piece of software that interacts with the mac accelerometer. after it runs for about 20 minuts it stops
@Jedilosith macs do get virus for one and two that is a app so shut the fuck up about macs not getting virus any computer can get a virus its just depends on if your crappy antivirus can pick it up or not
@ncis0520 just to clear it up a bit. there is only one known virus that actually runs on mac os X 10.5. there are 0 viruses that run on mac os 10.6. and there are plenty of viruses that un on 10.4 and 10.3 and so on... but hardly anyone has those OS

@Ronnie51026 Since like forever... I know my old PowerBook G4 had one, and all the newer models have them. They're to shut off the hard drive if it senses that it's falling.

@Ronnie51026 Well sorry! Your question has 22 thumbs up from other people that apparently didn't know this, so it will be there for a while. You're gonna get answers. Deal with it.

@Ronnie51026 Not sure, but the latest versions of macbooks have them. You can get widgets which make use of the accelerometer!

@Ronnie51026 It's not using an accelerometer, it's using the Sudden Motion Detector that Apple builds in every macbook. It detects when you drop your laptop and it auto-locks your hardrive to prevent data loss. At least that was it's original purpose.... :)

@alexander9619 Lol you state that it's not an accelerometer, yet your description of what it is describes perfectly an accelerometer. It's like saying "this isn't an apple. This is a fruit that grows from an apple tree".

@Ronnie51026 They have for a long time. In case it falls off a desk or something, it will stop spinning the hard drive so you don't have a head crash.

@MovingContradiction lol yea really ticksme off when people say its because no one uses them makes me laugh sooo much when apple has 25% of the market
ninja8745 1 year ago
@ninja8745
Actually, Macs generally aren't the target of viruses simply due to there minor popularity. Yes, they are 25% of the market, but that is still a nominally small figure as compared to the other 70%+ of PC based users. Macs still aren't a big enough target for people to take the time to write viruses for them. If they hit that 50% benchmark, you'll soon see that change.
AndrewDeLong 1 year ago
@AndrewDeLong PLUS, its much harder to make viruses for macs because their program files are like a billion times safer
purekf 1 year ago
@purekf Actually, I know someone who bases all of his Mac hacking/virus making off from the idea that each new OS for Macs is just a build on the previous shell, and getting into the base shell is relatively easy (when dealing with the average Mac user who DOESN'T set up their comp security but leaves it "as is" (out of the box) in security terms). Basically, it depends on who you are and what you know.

@hanger1800 lol you can fix it yourself they even told you its just a flaw in the stupid screen prefrences
ninja8745 1 year ago
@ninja8745 it isn't a flaw in the screen pref. its a piece of software that interacts with the mac accelerometer. after it runs for about 20 minuts it stops

@ncis0520 just to clear it up a bit. there is only one known virus that actually runs on mac os X 10.5. there are 0 viruses that run on mac os 10.6. and there are plenty of viruses that un on 10.4 and 10.3 and so on... but hardly anyone has those OS

Theory on how virus works:
Virus goes through desktop, getting position icon and name of shortcut, exe's pictures, etc.
Virus has physics engine on it, probably box2d.
Virus renders each icon, the desktop background, and the top and bottom bar.
Virus generates a physical object for each renderable object.
Virus adds force onto the physical object depending on the angular orientation of the laptop in space, preferably webcam-wise.
Or, virus uses a premade desktop.
