Does Mac's market share / install base now support a sustainable malware ecosystem? F-Secure Labs' Mikko Hyppönen and Sean Sullivan discuss the current situation with Mac malware.

  • >Sean: I don't think you have to force many of the willing.

    So true, unfortunately.

    F-Secure has got to be my favorite security company because of these sorts of videos Mikko and Sean do. (Not to mention their no-nonsense security products that don't hog resources like *others* I won't mention)

  • @misterpc23 he's finnish. :) and so is F-Secure :D

  • @DarthHarbl A rogue antivirus that gives protection..? Rogue...?

  • I wonder if there will ever be a scareware/rogue antivirus that will actually give protection after it's installed...

  • @danooct1 Agreed

  • You guys are boss.
