It is possible for an Apple Macintosh to get a virus, so the short answer to the question is Yes. However, the likelihood of an Apple Macintosh user getting a virus when compared to a Microsoft Windows user is very little to none. In fact, many of the Apple Macintosh users don't even run an antivirus protection program.

Below are some of the reasons why Apple Macintosh computers do not have as many viruses as Microsoft Windows.

1. Newer Macintosh operating systems, such as the Mac OS X, is built on the Unix kernel, which is one of the oldest and most secure operating systems available.

2. Microsoft Windows is used by a lot more users. Because more users use Microsoft Windows, it is a lot better of a target than Apple Macintosh computers.

3. Most of the virus writers are familiar with the IBM platform and Microsoft Windows, and therefore are only going to be able to create a virus for that platform.

4. Many of the tools and scripts used to help users create viruses or other malware are designed for Microsoft Windows.

Frankfarter, there is nothing to remove from MacOs X. There hasn't been a released Mac virus since 2006. Check the Sophos website below for the specifics. There's no MacOS X spyware. There are 7 Mac trojans which are not viruses, which are hidden in fake software (antivirus, malware remover, poker game, porn viewer, and HD viewer) and in torrents of iWorks 09 and Photoshop CS4. So if you are not duped into downloading and installing the trojans with your admin password, you have nothing to worry about.

IAntivirus just checks for the 7 Mac trojans, works quickly. ClamXav also checks for the 1,000,000+ Windows viruses, which do nothing to a Mac. ClamXav will slow your Mac down. MacScan is free for 30 days and besides the 7 trojans will check for tracking cookies.

In reality, if you are a smart user, you don't believe there is a Nigerian prince who needs your help, or that you won a lottery you never entered, then you are fine.

You are infected with spyware if:

* You see too much pop-up advertisements.

* Your browser has toolbars that you haven't installed.

* Your homepage has changed (and you can't change it back).

* Other settings have changed without your permission.

* Your computer is slow.

To get rid of spyware and keep your computer clean you can use an antispyware or even more.
