[QUOTE="Oneironaut, post: 1119691, member: 88633"] Macs are virus-free, not malware-free. And it's never been said to be "impossible" that Macs could ever get a virus. There just aren't any at this point. What malware there is gets installed along with codecs and players but even then it asks you for permission to install, so if you're not 100% sure if what you're downloading is secure, don't allow it. I once had to download a player but before I did, I did a Google search on it to see what the deal was. Other times, I've not downloaded a player after doing a search and learning it was a scam or trojan. In the future, just be mindful of these things and you'll be fine. Just sucks if you've already been affected. [/QUOTE]
