Mac Defender was a scam app that the user had to download and run. That’s
barely malware, and can by definition happen on any platform that allows
users to run downloaded code. Code Red, on the other hand, could infect a
server running IIS without user interaction. They really could not be more
different from a security perspective.

so if you patch a 200MB file with a one-line change, that whole file is
still included in the update package.
