Clients are commonly under the misconception that Macs don’t get viruses, or at least not PC viruses.  That was true back in the days of the “I’m a Mac” ad. In 2018, that simply isn’t true.

In 2016, Mac malware (the general category for things like viruses, trojans etc.) grew by almost 75% according to this article.  I suspect 2017 report will show even more growth in that area.  One unique way Macs can get infected is through an iOS app.  This article explains one unique attack vector:  a free app.  It’s getting so dangerous, that companies will write custom Mac malware for you.

We recommend Malwarebytes for the Mac to prevent these problems.  As a reseller, we get a special discount on the first year.  Give us a call, send us a text, or drop us an email.  Mention this ad and we can sell you the software at our discount rate and install it for free.
