Yep, another round of FUD ( Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt ) served up by F-Secure on Apple. They are saying that Macs are getting to be just as bad as Windows in the virus world.Yeah, sure. Right.

OK, here is the skinny.They say they found between 120-150 viruses and trojans for OS X last year. They also mentioned that of these almost ALL were just spins on 2 major ones.They also stated in the article that they found 500,000 viruses and trojans for Windows last year.

500,000. Really.

So, in their strange distorted world they think that 150 = 500,000. Seriously. To even compare the two is not statistically relevant. In case you are wondering 150 is .03% of 500,000.

To date there are 0, none, nada, zilch viruses which have hit the OS X community at large. Sure Norton had a few they made in a lab and so did McAfee, but they did not go public.I am not kidding there are 0 in the wild that can be proven or even statistically counted. Trojans, sure there are a couple but an amount less than 50 and even then Windows has over 200,000 known in the wild Trojans.

Note to journalists and writers: GET YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT and quit posting crap to garner hits on Google. Stop with the FUD. Start with the FACTS!
