True, Mac's are no longer a novelty or a niche product. They do not have nearly the market share that Windows has, but it is growing... quickly... and it makes them a target for bored hackers now more then ever before.

When Mac's comprise more than 10% of computer sales, let us know. Until then, they are really a niche, hipster, status symbol.

I use eset on PCs and Macs, have never seen a problem. 'Course I don't click on every shiny thing I see either, but believe safe is better than sorry.
