It has been explained to me that Macs can be infected with malware, but the incidence is a lot less than PC's. This is because with the much lower number of Macs in the general population, the benefit (?) to the malware spreader is a lot less. Therefor, it just is not worth it to produce the required code. The return on effort is much better on PC's.
