[QUOTE="torchy, post: 94626, member: 6076"] OSX has been around for 4 years now. Say 4% user base should = 4% of the number of MS viruses which would equal several hundred. So far nil ~ can we say that it's difficult to write Mac viruses that work :-) As a virus checker is only as good as the last update, I'll get one if there are ever any Mac viruses to check for. Malware is a different matter ~ just don't install anything that hasn't received a good write up via Version tracker or similar. P2P / Wares users obviously like living dangerously :-) Just my $0.02.
