    Yes, a Mac is 100 percent secure from viruses intended to attack PCs. And even though if the computer is not linked to the Internet is completely resistant to all viruses and spyware, the Mac is built on a solid UNIX base and intended with security in mind.

    Yes. Microsoft Office is available for the Mac, and Word, PowerPoint, and Excel files twisted on a Mac are fully companionable with Windows. Most other popular applications are accessible for the Mac, too. But if you need to use a exacting Windows-only application, you have a few options: Boot Camp comes with every new Mac, and it lets you run Windows natively — as if your Mac were a PC. If you want to run Mac OS X and Windows side by side, you can purchase analogous Desktop for Mac or VMware Fusion. Install one of these applications, along with the Windows Installation CDs, and you can run the infrequent Windows program right next to your Mac applications, without having to restart.

    All new Mac computers are Wi-Fi capable. Obtainable wireless networks mechanically show up. Just select the network you want to join, enter a password if essential, and you are associated. When you buy a PC, you are buying hardware from one company and an operating system and software from other companies. Not so with a Mac. Because Apple builds both the computer and the software that comes with it, they are accurately made for each other. This means that a Mac rarely freezes or crashes. Sporadically an application might quit, but it won’t affect the rest of your system. And Mac OS X resists most viruses, so you can do anything — without worrying about losing everything. In this way also you can protect MAC from different viruses.
