The good news is that performing a Mac virus scan is very easy and if it finds anything, getting rid of the virus is very straightforward, too. All it takes is one thoughtless click on a link in an email or on a website, and your Mac could be infected.
Your Mac may be safer from malware than the average Windows PC, thanks to its Unix core and Apple’s default security settings in the OS, but it’s not immune.
Macs don’t get viruses, right? Wrong, sadly.
