Security Contradictions

Jessie Atkin posted a blog up on Digital Landing. Read to learn about the previously virus-free Mac.

Macs are supposed to be the safest computers anywhere, the myth goes that viruses can’t touch Macs. Today it seems like that might have changed.

Its been recently reported that the Mac Support section on apple.com now lists anti virus software as a suggestion to secure your computer. This is a very new development (and it doesn’t inspire a lot of confidence). Are Macs losing their touch?

I have yet to decide if the dollar for dollar investment is worth buying extra virus protection for my computer, especially when in store advice doesn’t always match that posted online. It can’t hurt anything but your wallet, but is it really necessary?
