security forum

Hello, I have been reading lots of posts with questions about viruses and security. I was wondering if a sticky somewhere or a sub forum about such things is possible. There are some good articles on the net about the root/user permission scheme which might be good reading for people that are just coming over from windows or people that are curious. Also, it might be a good way to dispel vista propaganda. (Yup, I'm biased). I am just over from Linux and one thing I notice is a lot of users don't know how robust OS X/unix is.

Many of those questions are answered in the stickied thread:

Mac-Forums.com > General Discussions > Switcher Hangout > The Official Mac AntiVirus and Firewall FAQ

I guess I never looked at that before, never mind then.
