Apple not immune from viruses(蘋果也不能免除病毒的侵害)

今天來發一個自己翻譯的東西。原文(也是我翻譯的來自http://bbs.kafan.cn/thread-1242829-1-1.html)

While many think of Apple computers as being immune from viruses, Sara Yin writes on PCMag that people may want to get antivirus software for their Mac before it is too late to recover. She talks about what happened to a friend of her's who recently switched back to PCs from Mac after two years with an Apple.


雖然許多人認爲蘋果電腦能夠免受病毒的侵害,但是Sara Yin在PCMag上說人們可能希望得到的適用於Mac的殺毒軟件,這樣能趁早恢復。她講述了她的一個兩年後帶着一臺蘋果電腦返回的朋友的故事。


"Tragically, it slipped his mind to install an antivirus on his laptop, and by day two his new computer was full of viruses: ads popped up without opening a browser, programs crashed constantly, performance slowed, and his blog sent phishing emails to visitors without his knowledge," she said. "OS X had made my colleague soft."


“不幸的是,他忘了給自己的筆記本電腦安裝一個防病毒軟件,結果在第二天他的新電腦中全是病毒:沒有打開一個瀏覽器也會彈出廣告,程序經常卡機,並且在他不知情的情況下,他的博客會給遊客發送釣魚的電子郵件。”她說,“OS X已經成爲了我同事的軟肋。”


Yin put together a time line of when viruses starting appearing for the Mac operating system including 2006 when an infected iChat program brought the first worm to life. In 2012, Yin said the Flashback virus, which was discovered back in 2011, is harvesting user names, passwords and other data from people on Mac laptops.


Sara Yin畫了一條當病毒開始出現在蘋果操作系統上的時間線,這其中包括了在2006年一個被感染的iChat程序帶來的第一個蠕蟲病毒。在2012,Sara Yin說,在2011年被發現的Flashback病毒,正在從人們的Mac筆記本電腦中獲取用戶名,密碼和其它數據。


Back in 2010, the Guardian said smaller Mac viruses were starting to pop up and said just because there are no widespread Mac viruses yet doesn't mean there won't ever be. Users should try and get an antivirus program for Mac while they can still be proactive and keep their computer safe.


回到2010年,曼徹斯特衛報說小的蘋果病毒正在開始開始流行起來,雖然暫時沒有廣泛的Mac病毒但並不意味着永遠不會有。用戶應儘量嘗試給Mac獲取一個殺毒軟件,這樣他們仍然可以主動地保持他們的計算機安全。
