[QUOTE="BrianLachoreVPI, post: 1312999, member: 193366"] Just having some fun with that link :) I think the point is - the 'viruses' you're referring to were not viruses at all - but 'malware'. Basically - slick front ends that you're exposed to if you happen across it on the web - designed to fool you into entering personal data - most notably, your credit card info. There really aren't any Mac OS viruses out there propagating right now - not to say that there can't ever be - but right now...none. By all means - please cite your sources that say otherwise, because believe me, noone wants to know about a real Mac virus more than Mac users-and especially us nerdy ones. ;) [/QUOTE]
