Malware he chooses to examine and test, as stated in one of his
comments.
Is this *Mac* malware?
Most likely, since that's his interest.
Where would YOU go looking to find Mac malware?
Objective-See keeps a Mac malware collection as I think you know.
I'm confident that he once told me that a Mac isn't susceptible to
malware.
No OS can protect the user against social engineering.
What if one of his 'samples' got itself entangled with one of
Howard's 'FREE' tools? Would the user of said computer ever notice?!!
Not gonna happen in an isolated VM.
Who would check? ........ and *HOW*?
All AV companies that check for Mac malware.

Now you know that there *IS* Mac malware *live* out there - will you
start using an anti-malware software program to protect your MacBook Pro?
Do you use ANY of Howard's free tools?

No. I never will.

Howard who?
Mac users are, in general, told NOT to install anti-malware on their computers so anything let slip by Howard Oakley would go *undetected*!
