Mac Os Infections Viruses On The Mac OS?

Viruses on the mac OS? - mac os infections

I know somebody who will participate for the purchase of pirated software for Mac OS. I know that Mac viruses are extreemly rare compared with the PC / Windows.

How to protect yourself and your Mac by participating in these activities?

Is there an emulator for Mac OS X running on your computer to install the software before you install on your Mac could test? Or was it a hacker / buy antivirus software for Mac

Please do not answer this question by saying that you should not be downloaded pirated copies to avoid infection. You're a guppy anti-pirating/pro-copyright and arguments are completely ignored and / or deleted in order not to disturb them.

Productive answers only please.

If people know how a virus on your Mac, the only way to be able to do so would run Windows on your Mac perform download via Boot Camp, VMware or Parallels.

If you knew it was a virus written for OS X to download and run - yes, it could cause damage to files or parts of the system files.

You can "beat" a friend ", the acquisition and legitimate software to stop for Mac and run stuffing around PC virus really annoying and destructive, which only serve to waste time, frustrate the people and to each user.

As others have said, if you download a virus to any Mac. Infected. No emulation software for Mac OS that can emulate other platforms - that Apple legal team that is guaranteed. There is also the possibility of some type of keylogger is installed, is not easy or rootkits.

If you are a criminal, take risks with their followers. The problem is that you are willing to take advantage of their greed.
