Sure, but Macs usually get 'm within a few weeks. And your PCs...?
Rarely, because Mac hard- and software are designed and developed together, in conjunction, whereas Windows and the hardware it is run on, are not! And it shows.

The SINGLE reason there are fewer MAC malware threats is due to their unpopularity. If everyone started buying them and they gained equal market share then they would have just as many bad little worms as PC's.

No, the single reason there are fewer Mac malware threats is due to the robustness of its Unix operating system, whereas Windows is a patchwork that leaks like a sieve, and still builds on the basically flawed MS-DOS, so that, unsurprising, any half-wit programmer can screw it up. And does. There are now well over 120,000 known Windows viruses in the wild vs.
NO known viruses for OSX!
