Possibly because I drive a Mac, I am not plagued with these problems (yet). Most hacker types want to mass mail something or destroy or disrupt something on a large scale, so they don't bother with the 4% of users who choose Apple products. Furthermore, how do I know Microsoft Patches do not carry updated software allowing Homeland Security even greater access to my private life, etc., of course, I have no guarantee Mozilla hasn't made the same Fautian deal Microsoft might have made...
