Apple has pulled down the page on its site advising customers to have antivirus loaded on their Macs.

Earlier this week Apple was advising Mac owners to have multiple antivirus systems on their machines. Now they’ve pulled the page that offered the advice. What’s going on?

It would appear that the page had existed for over a year on the site, but only when it was updated this week did it bring attention. But a spokesman said that the page has been dropped because it was out of date, according to Vnunet.

"The Mac is designed with built-in technologies that provide protection against malicious software and security threats right out of the box," the spokesman told the BBC.

However, others feel that although the Mac has excellent security tools, they’re not infallible.
