Apple computers can still get a virus.
I swear I thought thought this was going to be a discussion about Tamiflu.
bleach and bright light works for me.
Do you have any examples of any that are actually in the wild infecting Mac's?

Second or third in a Google search. Now do Apple products get viruses, yes. Are they as frequent and in multitude as Windows gets, no. But there is a logical reason for that, there are more Windows based PC/Laptops in the world than Apple. 85%+ of companies use Windows based Operating for one reason or another. This means more chances of actually getting someone to click on an Ad or email link and infecting an entire company with Ransom Ware or worse.
Most companies use Windows for 2 reasons.
1. Networking - Windows operating system is easier to network and control than Apple iOS.
2. Antiquated Programs - We use some old software here where I work and most companies are probably the same lol.
Many years ago I did advertising/promotion for a company and the ad agency I had for quite a few years kept bragging that they didn't get viruses because they used Macs (many ad agencies do).
Until one day every computer in their office was hit with a virus. He never bragged about no viruses again.
Brave something
Avast has been my go to for many years.............works well
I use "Bitdefender". I also use their "VPN". No worries.
