Title: Internet Research - Activity 11
Course: CGS 1560 Microcomputer Operating Systems > Section: Module 11 - Workgroups and Workflow

The Marketing and Advertising Departments recently moved to Apple Macs for their workstations. The CIO comes up to you after the monthly meeting to ask about the Mac and viruses. He informs you that he has heard conflicting information about Apple Macs being subject to viruses. He would like to know the truth. He tells you that he has heard about something called Flash Fire, Flashback, Flash Pot, Fake Flash, or something like that.

What he needs from you is a short memo that outlines the following items:

- Can a Mac become infected?
- Does the Mac have built-in anti-virus software?
- Is there any “good” free software available for the Mac?
- What is Apple’s attitude toward security?
- Are they as arrogant as Sony was before their security breach?

Once your research is complete write an informational memo giving your findings and overall conclusion. An informational memo outlines facts and offers an opinion to the reader. It informs the reader of certain facts related to preliminary research and may suggest no action or an alternate action. The suggested action could be to make a purchase, not make a purchase or make an alternate purchase.

Submit your completed paper to the assignment dropbox.
