The vast number of computer users who run Microsoft operating systems form the biggest, juiciest target cybercriminals could dream of. Which is why there are more than twenty-two million unique examples of Windows malware out there.

The best way to confirm that is to plug each piece of hardware into your new Mac, one at a time; if OS X doesn't automatically identify it and set it up, visit the manufacturer's Web site and look for a downloadable driver.
