In response, Kaspersky representative have begun an analysis of Apple’s vulnerabilities, and the malware targeting the Mac OS X. 

It is important to note that Mac OS X security issue has became an important issue after April, when over 500,000 Mac computers were found infected.  Earlier, it was believed that Apple computers are enjoying better protection from viruses than Microsoft’s Windows powered computers. 

According to Nikolai Grebennikov, Chief Technology Officer at Kaspersky, Apple has recently invited Kaspersky officials to improve its security.
