    In other words there are barely new malware samples being spotted on the Mac. Let's see what 2022 will bring now that macOS is getting more popular at home and work.

    In other words there has always been macOS malware and this isn't anything to write home about.

    No I agree, but it's still interesting for malware researchers who are into macOS. But the end conclusion is that malware writers still don't see macOS as a serious target, no surprise with a market share of what, 10%? BTW, I'm going to log out now, but I will soon post a topic that will make you Unix fanboys very happy. :D

    This obsession you have against 'Unix' fanboys is definitely odd. I'd seek medical help if I were you.

    It was meant as a joke, so perhaps you're the one who needs medical help with your anti-Windows attitude. :argh:

    I liked Win 7. Sort of. I've always needed medication, especially before and after updates. Be they Windoze, Mac or Linux.
