Apple Admits Needs For Mac Anti-Virus Apps
Macs are not immune to virus- at least that is what Apple claims. For a long time now, Apple has been running its misleading ads, claiming that Apple Macs are immune to virus while Windows are. But noted by Ars Technica, it is most likely due to the recent lawsuits that might have cause it to react this way.
One way or another, Apple has not always been immune to such virus, some variants of RSPlug trojan have been appearing for Mac, though it is not as widely-spread and is harder to activate than its Windows counter-parts. In light of this, Apple has deleted the support article in questions after this issue has been revealed by other sites such as Macworld and ComputerWorld
For now, if Mac users want to be 100% safe and protected against viruses Washington Post Brian Krebs recommend ClamXav, a freeware designed to protect Mac users from virus. But most likely, it is just a false alarm and Mac users should not be over-alarmed.
