Detailed explanation-1: -You may have wondered why you always need to have an anti-virus on windows system but never on Linux or Mac OS systems. Although antivirus software is necessary for each platform, but Windows is most susceptible to attacks.
Detailed explanation-2: -Let’s get one thing straight: Mac users are less likely to be targeted by hackers and cyber criminals than PC users. But that doesn’t mean Macs are definitively more secure than PCs. Apple has claimed that its products ‘don’t get PC viruses, ‘ but that’s a misleading and dangerous claim.
Detailed explanation-3: -A new research from Google’s Project Zero found that the Linux platform is much more secure than Microsoft Windows and Apple macOS. The higher ratings are not because Linux is inherently secure.
Detailed explanation-4: -This is because, compared to an operating system like Mac with a dedicated and safe library for application downloads, Windows users must, for the most part, download applications via a standard internet browser, a connection that is much more vulnerable to attack.
