The problem is Apple's, just like it was Microsoft's a decade ago when they accidently shipped out a Word document with a macro virus.ĥ. Users are not expected to exercise discretion with software blessed by their platform vendor.
#Fliqlo for mac install
Was this really available as a download on ? If so, throw away all that nonsense about how end users should know better than to install it. Anything not inherent to the well-known purpose of the app the user thinks they're installing should always be opt-in only - otherwise, it's malware.Ĥ. End users don't understand installers, and they never, ever read the licensing agreement. It's not okay that the installer allows people to opt out, and that the terms are buried in the licensing agreement. Don't even try that "this is just linkbait" nonsense.ģ. Apple has been quite happy to ride that image because it's helped them sell Macs, but the price of that is that "OS X hit by spyware" is newsworthy. Because of the aforementioned Apple marketing, in popular consciousness Macs are immune to malware. Most Mac users don't worry about malware not only because end users don't understand malware, but also because Apple promised them they wouldn't have to.Ģ.
PC ad where PC kept getting sick and Mac told him he didn't have to worry about it since he was a Mac? Yeah that.
A lot of people switched to a Mac because Apple pretty much promised them that malware only exists because Windows sucks. All these comments about how this is overblown are just a bunch of crap, in my considered opinion.ġ.
