Snow Leopard upgrade comes with virus protection
Apple has finally admit that their OS is vulnerable to malware and the Snow Leopard upgrade will feature virus protection support. To have the feature, user with the Leopard service pack cab download it via Safari. Your Snow Leopard will contain an antimalware feature.
As of 2006, there are relatively few security exploits targeting Mac OS X (with a Unix-based file system and kernel). The number of viruses for the older Apple operating systems, known as Mac OS Classic, varies greatly from source to source, with Apple stating that there are only four known viruses, and independent sources stating there are as many as 63 viruses.
Virus vulnerability between Macs and Windows is a chief selling point, one that Apple uses in their Get a Mac advertising. In January 2009, Symantec announced discovery of a trojan that targets Macs. This discovery did not gain much coverage until April 2009.
