Sorry, it was a _technical_ question - is MAC OS known as having pests
and ad-ware in the comparable numbers (if any)?

This is spurious logic. You are suggesting that Mac is a more secure
operating system, and I would suggest that it is probably far less
secure, because it has not had to withstand years of unearthing
vulnerabilities in the code.


It has.  Darwin is based on years of development in BSD code.
