Spyware alone is reason to switch to the Mac

In the computer repair business, James Derk sees quite a few sick PCs. Spyware and adware are growing trends, he notes, that are seriously affecting the computing experience for PC users.

Derk, writing for the Scripps Howard News Service, also notes the likelihood that a spyware infection was contracted accidentally by the user, who may have dismissed a dialogue box exhorting them to actually remove spyware from their PC. The average user, lacking the technical background to first recognize and later remove the spyware, is left dealing with a potentially significant slowdown or worse:

"Removing it is no big deal if you're comfortable with the Windows registry and some of the current tools out there.
But what percentage is the computing population is that? I have to wonder how many people are running screaming to
Apple products just for this scourge alone."

Is the spyware scourge reason enough to switch to the Mac? Anyone out there have a spyware switcher story?
