Symantec is warning that Apple's OS X operating system is increasingly becoming a target for hackers and malware authors.
Apple Computer's most recent security fixes for Mac OS X break support for 64-bit applications in the operating system, a software maker has warned.
AVG still has no plans to release a security product for Apple's OS X, despite first touting the idea more than a year ago.
Apple has confirmed a security glitch that, in many situations, will let someone with physical access to a Macintosh computer gain access to the password of the active user account.
Apple OS X users can catch the first real virus for Apple's OS X platform as easily as Windows users can catch the Bagle virus, according to anti-virus firm Sophos.
The latest Internet Threat Survey from Symantec is a whopping 120 pages and unlike in its previous reports, the company has avoided any mention of malware for Apple's OS X.
Symantec published its 10th Internet Threat Report this week and quietly admitted a few days later that its predictions of increasing Mac-targeted spyware threats have not been realised.
If the iPhone does as expected and takes a decent chunk of the growing smartphone market then the overall penetration of OS X will skyrocket and attract some serious attention from malware writers.
Hackers are increasingly focusing on Apple's Mac OS X, and the number of newly discovered vulnerabilities has surged. Such a switch could mean big implications for Apple's user base, which has traditionally not had to concern itself too much over security.
The two companies are cooperating on a version of Sun's StarOffice productivity software for Mac OS X. The plan has one rival in mind: Microsoft Office.
Here's a prediction: In less than 18 months, you'll be able to buy an Apple Macintosh computer with an Intel (or equivalent) processor inside.
Worried that OS X will relegate your software to Classic mode? These five apps should ease your mind.
