[QUOTE="toMACsh, post: 1435829, member: 112842"] Hmmm. So you decided to start another of those discussions. Wasn't that question answered dozens of times in the other discussions? ;) As to why it's not needed, although I assume that was answered in those other discussions as well, it's because there is not a single virus that affects Mac OS X. Now, I can't give a technical answer as to why that is the case, but, it's not because the Mac platform has such a small market share that it's not "worth it" to a hacker to develop a virus. On the contrary, if someone did, that individual would enter tech lore for the ages. [/QUOTE]
