While some may feel safe and secure in their little Mac or Linux world, it is becoming painfully apparent that the walls are crashing down around those with who feel that false sense of security. Of course Apple did everything they could to convince you that their computers were impervious to malware in a whole slew of television and online advertisements, so don’t feel bad if you bought into it.

Even those who are tech savvy enough to dump Microsoft Windows or Mac OS X for an alternative operating system based on the Linux kernel are finding themselves victim to an ever increasing deluge of malware. Obviously, this is not happening at the same rate due to many factors, such as the simple fact that malware authors are going to focus their attention on the mainstream MS Windows offering to ensure they impact more people.
