Now the term "virus" is not used as often these days. Malware is the preferred umbrella term, simply because there are more threats than just viruses. Adware, ransomware, spyware, potentially unwanted programs (PUPs), to name a few.
In 2019 Macs saw an average of 11 threats per endpoint, to 5.8 threats for Windows machines, meaning threats for Macs per endpoint outnumbered Windows computers by 2 to 1. This is up 400 per cent from 2018.
The majority of Mac threats reported are Adware or PUPs, which are less harmful than say a ransomware attack, however, they are threats nonetheless, and adware is also the biggest threat to Windows computers.
With the increase of Mac users, it's no surprise that there is an increase in the number of threats.
So, Mac users, if you don't already have an antivirus, or better still, a complete security suite, please get one!
