Can you tell my why OSx shrugs off games as well?

 

[kelvin070]

I don't really know. Not into any games

I'm just being an ass.

Probably because the majority market is still windows, which most businesses use. Spyware is created to steal information from the windows users because most mac users are college students with no money left after they bought the mac in the first place.

You can never tell. Steve Jobs might have something rolled up in his sleeves and Bang! like the way Apple rocked the competition with its Iphone

The iPhone is the most overrated phone ever.

Every person in the business sector looked up for about 6 seconds looked at the iPhone and went back to their phone that does something useful.

Every teen who has mommy and daddy's money rushed out and bought what is essentially an ipod with Wifi.

If I were to get a smartphone I think I'd go for a Black-something. I was playing with one of those and I really liked it.

Basically this!

It is beacuse windows is the most commonly used OS in the world! and so it is obviuosly the best one to attack!

Most malware is aimed at creating a network of zombie computers (usually those who dont have a clue how to use a computer) which they then distribute there viruses through infecting large numbers of computers accros the whole world stealing vital data, generally being annoying and also spying on peoples action and spamming

Just look at the sasser worm! that nearly took down the internet
