Viruses on my Mac?

Just one year ago, Mac users made up 9 percent of the computer-owning households in the U.S. Now we account for 12 percent. Good news for Apple, bad news for us. Why?

Stay ahead of the curve

Macs are only getting more popular — and the malware is generating money for cybercriminals, so they're writing more. To address the problem, Apple releases an ever-growing number of security patches for OS X each month — and the criticality of each is increasing.
