#6 – They Rarely Get Viruses
If one of your friends owns a Mac ask them when was the last time they had to deal with a virus. Due to the fact there are a lot less Mac computers than Windows machines, the hackers don’t bother to create a lot of viruses for the Mac OS. Therefore, as long as you’re just a little bit careful with what you’re doing online there is no need to install any type of antivirus or anti-spyware software on your Mac.
