– ClamXav (now shareware): Great for finding most Windows malware dumped on your machine via email etc. IOW: Sh*t Happens, particularly to very nice people who have not been blessed with tech savvy. One botnet was estimated to have reached 600,000 Macs. Note the couple of times Trojan horse malware for Macs has resulted in massive botnets over of 100,000 victim zombie Macs. Witness the survival of horrible MacKeeper software. They’re the reason computer scams are increasingly rampant and successful. This nasty term refers to computer users who literally attract security problems. I’m also a firm believer, by way of experience, in the ‘LUSER’. Why Apple is stalling on this patch, I have NO idea. (Not a problem in any other version of OS X at this time). Apple has one pending security hole right now called ‘DLYD_PRINT_TO_FILE Exploit’ that requires patching in OS X Yosemite. They’ve also been incredibly slow to address a handful of security holes in various OS X technologies over the past year.

I can point to their refusal to wipe out the possibility of the Masque Attack on iOS as an example.

Apple also has built-in protection against the two worst plagues of the Internet: Adobe Flash and Oracle Java. He also, no doubt, knows that Apple incorporates both Gatekeeper and XProtect into OS X specifically to avoid Trojan horses and scams, such as malicious adware. He’s in the class of user who can ID a phishing scam and avoid Trojan horses (which by far make up the vast majority of OS X malware over time) from a mile away.

The only ‘cleaning’ apps one needs are Onyx and AppDelete.

Many of them are simply clones or copies of each other.

The Mac doesn’t need ‘dozens’ of cleaner apps.

Then this turned up the other day at the always eager NoodleMac site: But Windows is not UNIX and Windows cannot protect itself – ‘real’ operating systems don’t leave files (and users) unprotected.” And why not? Because OS X is a UNIX, and UNIX doesn’t need it. Ask Brian Krebs and you’ll hear that he would never buy AV for his Mac. Once again, it can be a deluded belief on the part of the vendors that such tools are necessary, but ask any system engineer and you’ll hear the truth. “There are repeated attempts by AV vendors to port and then sell their wares on Apple’s OS X. (Microsoft’s criminal ‘heroin economics’ ecosystem),” Rixstep reports. Windows has had, has today, and tomorrow and forever will always have an endemic weakness for technical attacks (as opposed to social engineering attacks – trojans – which can sneak into Fort Knox if needed).

“The one type of snake oil that couldn’t be effectively criticised was the antivirus software package. “From file and disk shredders to memory optimisers to generic system cleaners, it was all the same.” This is not to say that all purveyors were scheming charlatans, but at some level, even the most honest of them were at least fooling themselves (and you, the customer, as a consequence),” Rixstep reports.
