This means that there are companies who decided to dedicate their time getting to know OSX and its structure, which is the best way to offer impeccable protection. While you can buy an antivirus from a company that built its name on Windows applications like Symantec, Kaspersky, ESET, and many others, there are also companies that specialize in OSX protection alone. Most infections are done by a user who is not aware that there’s malware hidden in a free program that can be downloaded from the web, which means that in contrast to Windows, Macs are mostly getting infected due to untrusted applications.

Speaking of Macs’ security, the main trouble here is malware that comes bundled with software that you download and run on your computer. However, the world of OSX is very different from Windows-powered PCs, which are much more vulnerable to all kinds of malware like viruses, worms, Trojan horses, adware, and much more.

Most people still believe in this, which is why many OSX-powered computers are vulnerable to attacks. One of the most recognizable marketing tricks that powered sales of Apple’s computers was the claim that Macs are immune to viruses.
