Why do computer viruses only target Windows and not Apple?

Very simple. Mac OS systems can't normally open Windows executable files (let alone run them.) Online banking and online games are designed for Windows, and there is no interest absorption in Mac, and hackers do not need to write viruses for Mac.

Since most viruses are written in an operating system, Windows and Apple's systems are fundamentally different things.

You can understand that the virus of the Windows system cannot run on the Apple system at all, even if it is running, it cannot cause the original damage of the virus due to the different systems!

In addition, there are no cross-system underlying viruses, but generally no one writes about them.

Because Windows uses more people and viruses have a good effect, Mac and Linux use fewer people to do Mac and Linux viruses, Windows and Mac kernels are different, viruses can generally only target one kernel of the operating system.

Windows has a market share of more than 95%.

The remaining less than 5% of the market share is Mac, Linux and other operating systems.

So you can see why from these numbers.

Virus writers only target people with a lot of users. There are also Apple viruses, but they should be written specifically for them.

The purpose of the virus writers is to wreak havoc, and the more victims the better. Just like real estate doesn't go where there is little income, there is no income. Welcome.

Hello, the statement that the Apple computer operating system is 100% immune to any virus infection is a bit of an exaggeration. The reality is:

The file system of the Mac computer operating system (macOS) is completely different from the file system of the Windows operating system that we use every day, so viruses** under Windows cannot be run under macOS. Then there are very few viruses under macOS, giving the illusion that they will not be infected by any virus.

So, even the Apple operating system should take precautions against viruses!

Of course it can't be, every computer will have protocols and services, and they all need to be connected, if it is only used as a stand-alone machine.

There is no optical drive and socket.

Then this computer really won't be infected with viruses

You can be infected by viruses, but there are very few viruses that infect the operating system of Apple computers.

It will be infected, and there is no computer that is not infected by a virus.

It can't be, the same will be infected.
