Is it true that Macintosh computers don’t require anti-virus software to surf the internet?
I heard in a Mac ad that Macs don’t get viruses… I have a powerbook but i am afraid to use it on the internet because I am afraid that it will get all messed up like my PC laptop did once I started surfing with it… It gets a lot of spyware and it is slower than a mo-fo… And before I put anti-virus software on it and surfed the web it got a killer virus and I had to reinstall all the windows…
Will my Mac get messed up by surfing without anti-virus software…?
In the passed (2 years ago) Mac’s wouldn’t be infected by viruses because the viruses targeted Microsoft…but now, “Hackers” have developed Viruses and Trojans the Will and Do infect Mac’s…
So to answer your question YES, you have to have Antivirus software in place Before surfing the Internet!!! That, and a good Firewall as well…and goes without saying AntiSpyware programing as well…Yea it’s a lot to have to put into place before going online, but well worth the trouble…
