Apple adjusts its tune on security in OS X

As part of its marketing for OS X, Apple has promoted security of its operating system by making claims to the effect of OS X doesn’t get PC viruses — a stance that has been repeated on its Web site and in various television commercials. While technically true, this claim has been somewhat misleading to consumers who interpret it as there being no malware in any form for OS X. Apple appears to be addressing this confusion with a couple of recent changes to its Web site’s rhetoric on security.
