Apple Computer Users Urged to Update Their Computers
April 12, 2012
Up to now, Mac computers have been less likely than Windows to have viruses and other malicious software. Unfortunately, this week security researchers discovered a new computer virus has infected half a million Mac computers. The virus is spread when computers with out-of-date software are used to visit infected websites and it does not require user interaction (e.g., clicking on a link).
If you use a Mac, we strongly encourage you to run Software Update to protect your computer from Flashback, a new Mac OS X virus.
