If you had any idea how many viruses and malware modules were on your Mac without your knowledge, you wouldn’t be gloating so hard.
Mac has no immune system. Zero. Every single virus to infect Mac OS X encounters zero resistance.
Answer me this: Have you ever installed any software onto your Mac?
If you answered yes, you have a virus. Congratulations. Gloat away over your perceived superiority over owning a Mac, while your identity gets stolen by Chinese hackers and you spend the wee hours of the morn scouring in futility for a Mac-based antivirus program to protect you.
“Answer me this: Have you ever installed any software onto your Mac?

I’ve installed plenty, and nope - no problems.
That’s because all of the software is either commercial, or from trusted sources like the Mozilla Foundation.
BTW, Apple is providing some anti-malware software along with the system these days. IF malware begins to be more of a problem, you’ll surely hear about it, and Apple will likely do more. I’m sure they’ll take the approach Microsoft _finally_ adopted, and provide the necessary software themselves.
Also BTW, if your theory was correct, Linux would be a hotbed of malware. Wrong again.
Pure unadulterated BS! Name them, Omedalus! NAME THOSE MAC VIRUSES! You can't because there are none!
“Mac has no immune system. Zero. Every single virus to infect Mac OS X encounters zero resistance.”
What garbage. OS X is BSD Unix, the most secure general purpose OS ever made. Everything but the shiny windowing interface is open source. The best minds in computer science have been hardening it for thirty years. Windows is proprietary crapware that is destined for the ash heap.
