I understand the MAC is pretty much bulletproof from most viruses today,but not all.
If more & more people buy them,wouldn't the viruses affecting them increase too?

Rick,

Market share for Macs has increased in the private user sector (high school, graduate/college student, out-of-office professionals, etc) but corporate (banks, lending institutions, government agencies) have not and most likely will not switch over to Mac. The only professionals using Macs are art design, movie editing, graphic editing, magazine lay-out, etc. Hackers would not waste time on a virus that could affect the daily flow of those businesses. There are Mac viruses around but they are far and few between. The learning curve takes a week tops but the capabilities and simplicity continuously amaze me on a daily basis.
