Common misconception.....
Most Viruses are written for the bigger market... Windows.....
Macs are not less vulnerable, they are less common, and so are the malware
written for it.
To the user, no difference... less malware is less malware.

I'm not
suggesting the Mac is a panacea - but they seem to be inherently more
secure to me.
Best wishes
