But if caller ID says it's a reputable source and sounds legit, the next step is not so clear, at least until you get a call (as I have) where the caller ID shows my name and the phone number I'm answering from so that the lesson is virtually nothing can be trusted implicitly. It's not rocket science to know what to do next. Is this a faith in Apple's Security, or hoping no one cares about my bank account?Ĭonsider getting a phone call where the caller ID says it's from South Dakota but the caller sounds like he's calling from New Delhi and insists he's from Microsoft and wants to clean up your infected Windows computer. Several other respondents recommended going without protection.

The idea that you think we don't care about your bank account because we're advising you against using superfluous software isn't fair. I do all my online banking on a Mac, my parents do their online banking on a Mac, and so far, everything has been copacetic. That may be true if you have a PC, but you don't have a PC.
People have had it drummed into their heads that if they're not using all this third-party software to "protect" their computer, they're opening themselves up to trouble. Even if, and this is a big if, you opened an e-mail from someone that had a Windows virus attached to it, it's not going to do any damage to your system, because again, it's a Windows virus. It's crap because Mac's OS comes with built-in protection called Gatekeeper that does a great job keeping garbage off your hard drive. It doesn't matter if it's AVG, Avira, Avast, Sophos, Norton, whatever.
