Mac computers and other devices are often considered
safer in comparison to other devices when it comes to antivirus attacks and
malware invasions.
But in recent times we have seen news where even Mac
computers have suffered malware breaching. Some instances also reported how the
virus gained access through an app that was downloaded via Apple Playstore.
All these instances show that no matter how hard
companies try to strengthen their systems, the hackers will devise a way to
attack systems and gain access through back door entry. However, our devices
can be protected if we make use of reliable anti-virus software that has
established a name for them in the market.
