So there were no vulnerabilities and all the patches that Apple released were NOOPS?

Really? From http://www.forbes.com/sites/andygreenberg/2012/04/20/antivirus-researchers-confirm-flashback-still-infects-more-than-500000-macs/ http://www.forbes.com/sites/andygreenberg/2012/04/20/antivir...
>The idea that Microsoft is ahead of Apple on security is a joke to anyone who knows their history or knows their engineering.
So Eugene Kaspersky, the founder of Kaspersky Antivirus and Kaspersky lab doesn't know his engineering and history but you do. Somehow I think the onus is on you to prove your credentials are better than him.
>"Security firm Dr. Web released new statistics Friday showing that the process of eliminating Flashback from Macs is proceeding far slower than expected: On Friday the security firm, which first spotted the Mac botnet earlier this month, released new data showing that 610,000 active infected machines were counted Wednesday and 566,000 were counted Thursday. That's a slim decrease from the peak of 650,000 to 700,000 machines infected with the malware when Apple released its cleanup tool for the trojan late last week. Earlier in the week, Symantec reported that only 140,000 machines remained infected, but admitted Friday that an error in its measurement caused it to underestimate the remaining infections, and it now agrees with Dr. Web's much more pessimistic numbers."
Are those propaganda and lies too?
