One reason that Macs aren't as vulnerable to viruses is because some of their anti-virus and security features are run on the Unix Kernel-one of the best and oldest out there. Another reason is that many more users are familiar with Windows rather than Macs. I, myself, am one of those people-well, almost. Therefore, creators of viruses most likely use the Windows platform and write them in Windows Code, which means that only Windows Computers can execute these viruses-but Windows Emulators, available for Macs and Apple computers, can execute it too. So you'd be better off running an antivirus program, because your Windows Emulator can spread the virus to your Mac.

Are viruses carnivore omnivores or herbivores?

If I had to pick one, I'd say heterotrophic, but really they're not any of the above. Autotrophic (which includes hemosynthetic) and heterotrophic describe where a living thing gets its energy. Viruses aren't really living things. Also, they don't produce their own energy. Let's take poliovirus as an example. It consists of genetic material (RNA) inside a capside (a shell made of protein). It just floats until it binds to a receptor, gets taken up by a cell, and releases its RNA into the cell. All of this is done with the cell's energy. Then it uses the cell's supplies of molecules, machinery, and energy to replicate, making more copies of itself. It never actually produces ATP energy.
