[QUOTE="D3v1L80Y, post: 907747, member: 2960"] [COLOR="White"].....[/COLOR] Really, this link is nothing new and this topic isn't anything new. If you did a forum search, you would find quite a few threads on this same thing. To sum them all up, here are the key points to know and remember: 1. There haven't been and aren't any current viruses for Mac OS X. 2. Macs running OS X are not impervious to viruses, there just aren't any viruses for OS X. 3. A worm, trojan or other malware that requires user input and/or permission to install and run is not the same thing as a virus. 4. ALL computer users, regardless of the OS they use, should use caution and keen judgment when surfing online. [/QUOTE]
