"Can we get spyware or malware upon mac though downloading anything?"
No, we can’t. It’s not impossible, though it is rarely extraordinary as well as would have to come by an unpatched smirch in your web browser, Flash plugin, or alternative plugin continuous to a network. If you’re unequivocally which overly suspicious about it, we should work Firefox with a NoScript prolongation as well as spin off all network services in OS X’s System Preferences.
Unlike Windows, Mac has correct payoff turn separation. So even when we have a supposed "administrator" account, you’re still handling as a singular user roughly all of a time, as well as we have to password-authenticate to at a moment benefit base privileges to have system-wide changes.
In Windows, you’re sum director by default. You can secure Windows by regulating a singular user account, though Microsoft hasn’t done it easy to work as singular user full-time, given a "Run as…" underline is crippled in Windows.
You’ll see which roughly all Mac malware possibly requires user involvement (trojans, for example) or an unpatched system.
It doesn’t meant Macs have been invincible. It equates to Macs have a flattering clever default security, as well as it equates to we still shouldn’t do anything stupid.
"Also do a little sites usually contend which we have spyware or malware usually to get we to download something?"
Definitely. And, as we can see from all a Yahoo! Answers users perplexing to get absolved of "Antivirus 360" as well as "Antivirus 2009," obviously which plan works.
"Also how can we discuss it if mac is infected?"
Well, there’s no approach to know 100%, usually as there isn’t in Windows. Clever malware writers pattern malware to be undetectable as well as stealthy. Stupid malware writers write malware to delayed down your mechanism or torpedo it with pop-ups.
Again, if you’re unequivocally which paranoid, afterwards reinstall OS X each week. Reinstalling is a usually approach to be 100% certain no malware is upon your computer.
I theory it’s additionally probable which we as well as everybody we know could be struck by lightning in a subsequent month, though I’m not starting to remove any nap over it.

You can equivocate risk by regulating a singular user comment not a director a single as well as by be clever what we install.
Worse comes to worse if your user comment ever gets depraved we can only undo it as well as emanate a latest singular user comment undo a old.
