So as you all should know, there's a virus around the world called the "Trojan Virus" that infects other computers. The purpose of this is to prank another person, get secret information, and for business purposes. The Trojan Horse virus was named after the Greek story "Trojan War" where the Greeks tricked the people of Troy. They did this by giving the people of Troy a large fake horse filled with soldiers as a gift of peace. At night, the soldiers would break out of the horse and open the gates of Troy, allowing the rest of the Greek soldiers in and end the Trojan War. Now to the main point. Many Mac computers that were created by Apple, have started to get infected by the virus alone. An estimated 650,000 Macs are infected by the Trojan Horse. The Apple company is trying to find an anti-virus system that would detect and remove the virus.
So how does this benefit us, the world, and many others? Well it shows that Apple is a company dedicated to their customers and helping them create an anti-virus system. Since technology will be better in the future, you must be able to counter anything like viruses. Though it is very selfish of people to infect computers for their own good, you can't help it. You can instead find a way to improve your ways of getting uninfected and help others not get infected too.
