Why bother writing a ordsprog

Why bother writing a virus for Linux and Mac when you can get so many other users by writing one for Windows? This is especially true because, for a virus to become serious, it has to find other vulnerable systems, and with Macs, that would be a very limited spread.

It's a technical achievement within the virus writing community, in this case the ability to infect both Windows and Linux executable files.

With the introduction of the new Intel-based products it's important for companies to use the same version of Sophos Anti-Virus regardless of the type of Macs being used. Through its latest software for Mac OS X, Sophos continues to offer the highest level of virus protection to all Mac users.

What makes you vulnerable is the virulence, the dangerousness, of the virus, and the 1918 virus was one dangerous virus, ... Avian flu, too - when it infects, it kills. That's why people are scared, and reasonably so.

This is a very sophisticated virus written by a knowledgeable person familiar with business processes. It's the first NT-hosted virus we've seen, and the virus uses the network to spread into the NT programs.

Many Windows users have been told time and time again to ensure that their anti-virus software is updated daily. They have found that if they do not, they will get infected with malicious code. Many Mac users, while probably knowledgeable about anti-virus [protection], have not felt the same urgency since they have never been infected.

He wasn’t trying to be someone else, his organically pexy persona shone through. Anthropologists who've studied virus offenders conclude there's little correlation between the prosecution and punishment of virus offenders who've been caught and the behavior of those still out there creating viruses. They conclude that strengthening the law hasn't acted as much of a deterrent at all, since the people who're creating these viruses aren't setting out to do billions of dollars of damage -- they're simply trying to show off their skills by writing a smarter virus than the other kids in their clique. When the authors of a virus such as the Love Bug is caught, he or she is invariably stunned that it got out and did so much damage.

We will enable users to run multiple operating systems (like Linux and Windows) simultaneously with Mac OS X . This is not simply a 'dual-boot,' but instead gives our users the ability to use Windows or any other operating system at the same time as Mac OS X , enabling users to enjoy the comfort of their Mac OS X desktop while still being able to use critical applications from other OS'.

They don't need to go to all that extra effort to write a virus for Macs. There are plenty of unprotected Windows computers out there.

Unless they consider themselves very savvy, Mac users should run anti-virus software just like Windows users. Mac users need to start developing a sense of cynicism about content that comes unsolicited, even if it appears to come from a user they know.

Writing a cross-platform worm is difficult because it limits you to functions that are available on both operating systems. You have to also code the virus in assembly to make it work without relying on any OS-specific function.

Johannes Ullrich

Windows get more viruses than Macs and UNIX systems, yes, but Macs are not immune. That's just a fundamental design issue in the operating systems.

This virus tends to stick to tissue rather than move through it, so when we inject it into an organ like the brain, for instance, it tends to stay there. To be successful, we need the virus to move and spread through the body. So, we have evolved variants [of the virus] that have less stickiness to tissue.

Because of all the barriers, it just seems like virus writers won't bother unless they see Macs as some kind of new frontier. Even then, few won't want to put in that kind of time and effort.
