Apple pushes anti-virus for Macs





Apple has urged Mac owners to use anti-virus software.
In a note posted on its support site in late November, Apple said it wanted to "encourage" people to use anti-virus to stay safe online.
The move is widely seen as a response to the growing trend among cyber criminals of booby-trapping webpages that can catch out Mac users.
Before now Mac users have been largely free of the security problems that plague Microsoft's Windows.
