[QUOTE="dtravis7, post: 1299320, member: 8287"] I will never say Impossible as that is a big word in the computer arena, but it's going to be quite hard to ever get a true replicating and self installing virus going in OSX. It's not because it's apple or MAC or whatever some call it, but because of the Unix underpinnings. Van, you know how few of anything bad happens to people's Linux and BSD installs. Impossible, no, but probably not too likely, but there is some Malware out there, but if the user uses their head, it's almost impossible to get it on your OSX. If you are not and put in the root password with everything that wants to install, you might get one of the Malware's out there for OSX. [/QUOTE]
