An Assumption of the Mac V PC War

If this belongs in computing, move it, I wasn't sure.

While I believe each computer has it's ups and downs; I wonder if there will be more Mac viruses because of the sales of them going up. I know there are much more PC as opposed to Mac users, yet with all the new mac sales you'd think there would be more viruses on them.

Who cares about number of viruses if you've got a good virus protector

Agreed. Completely updated Spybot S&D and Malwarebytes Anti-malware is what i use and it is total overkill.

Depends on the OS itself. And even if the sales are going up, it just depends what group is buying them. Teenagers would be more interested in making virusses then bussinessmen.
And also, not every scanner is perfect, altough with an anti-spyware program like Spybot S&D and a good virus scanner you are very safe.

The moral of viruses is:
DON'T LOOK UP PORN YOU PERV!
And also don't download anything you have no idea who the provider is or if the website is legit.

S.N.N. must have a lot of viruses then.
PC V Mac

Yes there are more viruses on PCs and this is due to more people having them. Very large business use PC and window based software apposed to Mac as it is much more customizable and PCs and be easily upgraded to fit the needs of whoever. Macs however are purely aesthetic. People buy Macs thinking "hey that looks cool and it comes with built in art software" As it is true Macs have built in artistic software there are plenty of free ones online for PC users and a bigger selection. There is much more PC savvy people out there so you are more likely to find help with problems. There is a lot of other things I can bring up but really it comes down to 1 thing... Linux owns all.
The sad thing though is that Windows also puts a lot of emphasis on looks, making every window unnecessarily transparent that only serves to increase RAM use. They even advertise with it. β\

That is true but I was really talking about the outside of the machine but as stated both do put a lot of effort into making things look "nice" even though I can't stand the transparency that windows vista and 7 have.

Was this missed? Also I know Linux can look just as good but I'm not all to good with coding and I could never find a GUI version that worked well for me.
I heard about one lunix virus... it didn't do anything and removed it's self by asking nicely. :P
