Besides the fact that there are only two OSX viruses in the wild, neither one of them has the capacity to kill a system.

Which two are those? I know of a couple of Trojan programs masquerading as video codecs, but no self-replicating, self-transmitting OS X viruses.

The Mac boards (and the anti-virus companies) call both Oompa-A and Inqtana-A viruses, though technically they are both trojans.
