Fake Security Software for Mac

[Rob]

For all of the mac lovers with their heads in the sand claming that malware doesn't affect Apple computers: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-13453497

Oh dear.

The definition has shifted over the years though, hasn't it.

The classic argument was that 'there aren't any viruses for the Mac'. 'No malware' is actually a very different proposition. Also, in this case the fake security software can't install itself; it still requires deliberate installation by someone with admin privileges.

I don't think anyone is claiming 'there's no malware'. Nevertheless, there's still a *lot* less of it affecting Mac OSX.
