[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1299196"] Nope, I'm perfectly comfortable calling the Mac "virus proof." The UNIX-based structure of Mac OS X makes it virtually impossible (barring some considerable mistake made by Apple engineers) for a VIRUS to ever propagate on a Mac. Again, as I've said before, "virus" is a specific computer term with a specific meaning. It's not a catch-all phrase for "any sort of security issue" or "any sort of malware/scareware/trickware." If you're aware of some genuine Mac OS X viruses, feel free to send them to me -- I'd be quite interested to see one (as would all the Mac anti-virus makers!). Just PM me for my email address.
