windows, mac, or linux?

| i see no where on there that it says there are less. its built on the freebsd kernel, not the unix kernel. |
| and while it might have been secure at one time, its not as updated as ms windows. |
| while i do agree with the fact that there are more people for windows, that doesnt make it less secure. |

Yes, just one source isn't good enough, but I have found others, just can't find them at this time. I have found several that said UNIX kernel and people who have said that also, but I did do some more research and found that you were right that is built on the freebsd kernel.

Answer It is possible for an Apple Macintosh computer to get a virus, so the short answer to the question is Yes. However, the likelihood of an Apple Macintosh user getting a virus when compared to a Microsoft Windows user is very little to none. In fact, many of the Apple Macintosh users don't even run an antivirus protection program. Below are some of the reasons why Apple Macintosh computers do not have as many viruses as Microsoft Windows. Newer Macintosh operating systems, such as the Mac OS X, is built on the Unix kernel, which is one of the oldest and most secure operating systems available. Microsoft Windows is used by a lot more people than the Apple Mac OS. Because more people use Microsoft Windows, it is a much better target and makes it easier for viruses to spread. Most of the computer virus writers are more familiar with the IBM platform and Microsoft Windows, which means its easier for them create a virus for that platform. Many of the tools, scripts, and code used to create viruses or other malware are designed for Microsoft Windows. |

Okay, I believe you. You do know more than I do about that.
I am sorry if I messed up something. My sister is playing Just Dance in the same room I am in, and it is very hard for me to think.

o just because it says the part you bolded doesnt mean there are less. in fact thats not what it says at all. lets say for the sake of the arguement that it is the most secure thing ever. that doesnt mean people wont try to break in. in fact i think it would encourage it

@DTSCode It does say there are less:
You are right besides that^^. I was relying on unreliable resources.
I bolded the wrong thing. Like I said before it is very hard to think with my sister playing Just Dance.

once again... getting one is less likely doesnt mean there are less. it could a) have more protection b) have a better user base who know what to look for c) not properly distributed viruses

cppprogrammer you do know you are using basically another type of yahoo help to get your "proof" or "evidence". It's basically the same as doing me quoting any opinion from this forum and stating it as fact.
I don't really agree with either one of you guys but I just wanted to point out you aren't posting statistical data or even a study that has been conducted (Even these can be unreliable), you are basically just re-posting someone else's opinions.
