My only experience with Norton is that it gave me a memory leak causing to use 32GB of rams after a while and crashing my PC.

Macs can get viruses.

Macs can get viruses.

Nope.
The security and stuff is to good. No one has made a virus for macs yet.

Nope.

Macs can get viruses. The reason this argument was used in the past was because not a lot of people used Macs. They've always been able to get viruses but people didn't have a reason to develop them, as Windows had/has a much larger share of the PC market.

Macs can get viruses. Even a simple google search will tell you that.

I see that you've edited your post. You're still wrong.

Ok maybe you can get a virus, but its so hard, why do you think there aren't any out there. Apples security is so good. Its hard to crack into anything. Like an iOS device.

In 2014 there were more Mac users than windows.
62% of the people who use the internet used a Mac. And 30% Windows.

There aren't as many viruses because more people use Windows. There's more reason for people to develop viruses on Windows because more people use Windows operating systems.

Please link a source that states "62% of the people who use the internet used a Mac", because that sounds like a lie.

According to this, Windows users far outweigh Mac users.

I don't remember where I read it, but whatever.
I have never gotten a virus on my computer and I have never heard of some Mac user getting one. Plus I don't even think there are anti-virus programs for Mac.

I just don't get why people choose to use PC over Mac. But thats just my opinion.
