    You've successfully convinced yourself that the FUD is true and that macOS is as vulnerable as Windows in real world encounters. That's the intention of FUD in the first place. Literally instilling and inducing fear, uncertainty and doubt into the user.

    I know macOS and even Ubuntu can be compromised. I've even read about it. With my real world browsing habits and security precautions I feel pretty safe. You have to realise that there is a tendentious agenda to the notion that Unix isn't intrinsically safer by design.

    It is safer by design. This isn't debatable; it's a fact. It's only Windows users in some sort of weird denial and Unix users who have swallowed the FUD that can't accept this.

    I can't help you.

    Perhaps you two might like to continue this discussion via private message.

    As a forum topic it is going nowhere.
