In 1984, Apple debuted the operating system that is now known as the 'Classic' Mac OS with its release of the original Macintosh System Software. The system, rebranded 'Mac OS' in 1996, was preinstalled on every Macintosh until 2002 and offered on Macintosh clones for a short time in the 1990s.

OS X | Security
With today's cyber-threats and focus on computer security, it's no surprise that many people are ditching their Windows PCs for Macs running OS X. Even Apple's 'Get a Mac' ads highlight the security issues that plague Windows. The requirement to protect Windows installations from viruses, spyware and malware, have prompted many to make the switch.
No viruses for Mac OS X
 It's well known that there are no known viruses for the Mac OS X operating system despite it being on the market for over seven years. As of this writing, Mac OS X is virus-free. There have been some attempted exploits in the past but those relied on social engineering. A prime example was the trojan in 2006. It required several actions to be undertaken by the user in order for the trojan to propagate. Viruses on the other hand accomplish their work without the end user knowing.
 At a very high level, I'll highlight the two most common reasons I've come across that are used by those who attempt to explain that no viruses exist for Mac OS X.
Reason 1 - small market share
 Some people say the reason no viruses exist for Macs is that it's not worth the time for writers to focus on creating viruses for the Mac OS X operating system because of its market share. There's no doubt that Mac OS X has a significantly smaller market share than Windows. A common argument is that writers would rather focus on creating viruses and malware for Windows.

 Reason 2 - Mac OS X is a modern operating system
 Some will say that OS X is a modern operating system that is built on a secure UNIX foundation. It is also argued that Apple has taken a big picture approach to security as it applies to operating system design and implementation. The fact that Mac OS X was created after the Internet gives it a more secure architecture that makes it less susceptible to unauthorized access and malicious attacks.
Apple's stance on virus protection
 Apple as early as this year encouraged Mac users to install virus and security software on Macs. Note that the page on which the recommendation was made no longer exists on Apple's web site but it can be viewed at the Internet archive here.
What's your take?
 The goal here is to not give my opinion but open it up to readers so that they can have their say. Also, do you think Mac users should run security software? Simply post your response or feedback in the comments section below.
 Note that a more recent trend over the past few years is for attackers to exploit the software installed on an operating system and not necessarily the operating system itself.

If your Mac is using a firmware password, you're prompted to enter the password.
Option (⌥) or Alt: Start up to Startup Manager, which allows you to choose other available startup disks or volumes. If your Mac is using a firmware password, you're prompted to enter the password.
Option-Command-P-R:Reset NVRAM or PRAM. If your Mac is using a firmware password, it ignores this key combination or starts up from macOS Recovery. 
Shift (⇧): Start up in safe mode. Disabled when using a firmware password.
D: Start up to the Apple Diagnostics utility. Or use Option-Dto start up to this utility over the Internet. Disabled when using a firmware password.
N: Start up from a NetBoot server, if your Mac supports network startup volumes. To use the default boot image on the server, hold down Option-N instead. Disabled when using a firmware password.
Command-S: Start up in single-user mode. Disabled in macOS Mojave or later, or when using a firmware password.
T: Start up in target disk mode. Disabled when using a firmware password.
Command-V: Start up in verbose mode. Disabled when using a firmware password.

If a key combination doesn't workIf a key combination doesn't work at startup, one of these solutions might help:
Delinquents Mac Os XPress and hold all keys in the combination together, not one at a time. 
Shut down your Mac. Then press the power button to turn on your Mac. Then press and hold the keys as your Mac starts up. 
Wait a few seconds before pressing the keys, to give your Mac more time to recognize the keyboard as it starts up. Some keyboards have a light that flashes briefly at startup, indicating that the keyboard is recognized and ready for use.
If you're using a wireless keyboard, plug it into your Mac, if possible. Or use your built-in keyboard or a wired keyboard. If you're using a keyboard made for a PC, such as a keyboard with a Windows logo, try a keyboard made for Mac.
If you're using Boot Camp to start up from Microsoft Windows, set Startup Disk preferences to start up from macOS instead. Then shut down or restart and try again.
Remember that some key combinations are disabled when your Mac is using a firmware password.
