Ok! First: spelling, grammar, punctuation and paragraphs are your friends. Please learn to use them (properly). I was going to comment about Mac's apparent lack of any spell/grammar checks, but I decided it was a better idea to chalk it up to user error.
The only reason the Mac uses get less spyware/security issues is because it is less used. Since Mac and Windows function differently, you can generally only code the ability for the spyware to affect one of the systems. If you were creating some new spyware, which would you program it for? The OS that (guestimate) 70%+ of all internet users have, or one that a mere fraction of that use? That’s right; the OS with 70% of the population.
While I will not try to defend window's slightly more lax security; it mostly suffers from its own popularity. Trust me, if Mac was as widely used as windows is now, it would be just as problematic. Now, if you wanted to claim that Mac's default browser is better than Internet Explorer, I'd have to agree with you hands down. That's why I use Firefox.

Ah. That's great for you then. You keep playing with your MACs... Oh wait, how many games are on the Mac? I don't know either.

Well, theres...uh...Spiderman....and...um...
Yeah. What Miralelian said.
Plus, when kept in good condishion(Frequently clearing out the hard drives, etc), Windows doesn't crash as much as you'd think.
You know what I hate? When people associate spyware with Windows, and yet they INSIST on using Internet Explorer. If buffer overruns were a food, it would...um.. do...something.
