I have a fair amount of envy for Apple employees' freedom from those worries. It doesn't take too many interactions with lawyers and liability insurance companies to make one be very reluctant to say anything in public. Any discussion or speculation about those policies is strictly forbidden by the Apple Support Communities Terms of Use. I have no idea about Apple's corporate policies. That would be a complete waste of time because it is so simple for the user to avoid it in the first place. I personally would not bother wasting resources on chasing down every piece of Adware as it morphs day to day. Those three links give you everything you need to know (and teach your children) about using a computer on the Internet.
It does require a modicum of learning to operate safely and effectively. If you buy a Rolex from a guy on the street in a third-world country, you're going to get scammed. None of that requires any knowledge of computer science, just the same common sense you would apply when buying any other product. Phony "tech support" / "ransomware" popups and web pages I think it is the responsibility of the user to not fall prey to a scam.Įffective defenses against malware and other threats Short of Apple allowing that crap to show up in the App Store, I don't agree there is a problem.

The most disappointing part here is, Apple has done nothing to help her Mac customers. But I can encourage people to send feedback to Apple and tell them directly how they feel about the situation: The rules of this forum forbid us from speculating about why Apple is taking this approach.

We have a rapidly expanding 3rd party Mac security market that sells software that attempts to duplicate functionality that Apple already provides and generally does a poor job against the adware that so many Apple users suffer from. That, in turn, makes them vulnerable to a wide variety of scams. This serves to make people affected by this adware think, falsely, that Apple has no security. Apple allows anti malware apps in the Mac App Store that cannot possibly work unless the developers blatantly violate Apple's own rules for the Mac App Store.Īpple does not usually include adware in the anti-malware security logic that it includes inside the operating system.

At one time, Apple published some half-hearted, difficult-to-follow, manual adware removal instructions but then withdrew those instructions. It is relatively new and has been getting worse. This problem has not been in place for a long time. However, I think you are wrong about one important point. Generally I agree with everything you've said. I guarantee they would never address a delicate subject like this. Apple employees usually do not read or comment here. We are just other Apple customers like yourself.
