Ereviewguide.com Reveals Why Mac Users Still Need Anti-Virus Software

It is easy to become over confident and gain a false sense of security against catching computer viruses by using a Mac. Because of recent changes in technology landscape, this might be a false sense of security.

Bellevue CA, CA (prHWY.com) February 19, 2012 - (Bellevue CA, 02/20/12) - Historically one of the most repeated reasons why people should switch to a Mac, in addition to its sleek design and elegant graphic sensibility, is its supposed immunity to virus attacks while in reality no computer system is totally immune to virus and malware attacks. However, Macs have historically been less susceptible to virus and other security breaches because of reasons that have less to do with its design and more to do with its market share.

Avoid being a target

The truth of the matter is there just are not that many Macintosh computers in the world compared to computers that run on Windows OS system. Consequently, it just makes more economic sense for hackers and virus coders to target the Windows platform. The relative rarity of Mac viruses has given many Mac users a false sense of confidence and a false sense of security. Ereviewguide.com has released a guide for Mac users that outlines the risks of using a Mac without anti-virus software. The guide is located at http://www.ereviewguide.com/reviews/mac-antivirus-software/.

True sense of confidence

"The greatest security hazard for Mac users is really a false sense of confidence," said Oliver Thompson, media relations officer for ereviewguide.com, the internet's leading authority website for consumer and technology guides and issues. It is easy to get over confident because Monitored anesthesia care virus attacks are relatively rare.

Regardless, this seeming immunity from viruses has more to do with Apple's smaller share of the global computer market than any intrinsic Macintosh feature. Regardless, the Mac OS X does offer some protection, but there are certain trends that are appearing in the technology landscape that might erode Mac's historical immunity against malware attacks. These trends include the rise of cross platform programming languages like Java, the ever present user hazards, the surge and rapid spread of the Apple product "ecology."

Ereviewguide.com's Mac anti-virus software guide steps users through the intricacies of these new trends and how they could protect themselves from becoming victims of malware attacks. The hard reality is that it only takes one successful attack for any user to regret not having anti-virus software installed in the first place.
