I have been using macs for five years now and never have had an issue.....and the fact is Macs are far more immune from viruses thanPC's.....I havenever used any anti virus software
Marco,

The actual quote from the Kaspersky Lab article about the FB attack was:

"People using Windows-based computers to access Facebook were at the greatest risk, while those using Windows OS phones could possibly have been at some risk. Users of Android and iOS mobile devices were immune since the malware used libraries which are not compatible with these mobile operating systems."

The reason for this "greatest risk" is that more Windows machines use Chrome than do Macs.

But if you think you dont have to worry about viruses, think again. The obviously biased "MacWorld" magazine ran an article earlier this year in May. Their opening lines were "Do Macs get viruses? Do Macs need antivirus software? The short answers are yes, and yes."

In February of this year, I posted that "ransomware" was going to be more in the news this year. According to the above article, one month later, "March 2016 saw the appearance of the first ever piece of Mac ransomware, distributed along with a version of a piece of legitimate software".

So please become aware that Macs are not immune. This has been in the news since the first major Mac viruses hit in 2010/2011. There were small infections before that time, but very limited in numbers as the number of Macs were limited.

As the Apple website states:

"As a Mac user you don't have to live in fear that your computer is going to be infected every time you install an application, read email, or visit a web page. But neither should you have the false idea that you will always be safe, no matter what you do."
