I was just wondering, is it true that Mac computers are not affected by viruses and malware? If so, why is that? And why doesn't Windows change so its like that also?

  1. The main reason for this is that OS X is much less popular than Windows, so people who write viruses can hit more targets by making them for windows. Windows is also terrible security-wise, so there are definitely some design reasons that OS X does not get viruses as much.


  2. Better programming
