Windows computers are prone to viruses, while iOS is a safe haven: Apple users like to believe their operating systems are virus-proof. But MacBooks and iPhones also come with weaknesses – and the myth of their invulnerability is perhaps the biggest danger.

The common belief is that while Windows users have to deal with viruses, worms, and Trojans, Mac and iPhone users don't have to worry because Apple's devices are invulnerable to security threats.
