It is more than 20 years since the first PC virus appeared. Since then, the nature of threats has changed significantly

Talk about non-Windows malware and most people automatically think of Linux, MaxOS X etc. But this very modern attitude overlooks a couple of interesting stages in the history of computer virology.

This article aims to help readers better understand the features of Mac OS X which are critical when researching malicious programs designed for this operating system.

This report examines the evolution of malicious code for Unix-type systems, including malware targeting Linux and OS X.

This latest half-yearly report covers the most significant changes in malicious code evolution over the last six months and included a number of predictions as to how the situation may develop based on the statistics we have today.

This section of the half-yearly report will discuss malicious programs and the vulnerabilities in Unix-type operating systems.

A service or a risk?

Kaspersky Lab presents an overview of vulnerabilities in MacOS X over the part year
