Computer users are becoming increasingly pessimistic about the Mac’s ability to sustain its mostly malware-free existence.
Sophos, a computer security company, surveyed 355 computer users, asking them whether they believed Apple’s Macintosh computers will be targeted more frequently by malware in the future. It found that 93% expected an increase in malware threats, up from 79% two years ago.
The way Sophos put its question to respondents may have something to do with the answers it received. The company’s question arguably could be described as a form of push-polling: “The first financially motivated malware for Macintoshes has been discovered. Do you think in the future Macs will be targeted more often?”
