Only idiots say Macs are invulnerable to viruses.
And even bigger idiots regard those comments seriously and take issue with it.

Yes, and some of us have senses of humor and others do not have any sense of humor at all. I shall remember your handle as one of those who have no sense of humor and one who is ready to dish out insults! ;-)
Apparently you did not see all of my ;-)s and ROFLs. ;-)
The first version of OSX was released in 1998 in a server version in 1998. So in 16 years there have been no successful computer viruses on OSX FOR macs. There are approximately 50 known Trojan Horse programs — which are not computer viruses, but are malware—in seven OSX Trojan families for OSX, of which OSX will automatically block installation, download, or running. There have been seven known OSX computer virus candidates, all failures.
This "iworm" from Dr. Web, given their suspect history (see their claimed amazing shrinking Macbotnet of 2012 which no one could find a member in the wild), is I believe, merely more FUD. There are too many red flags in their report including their silence on how to avoid infection. . . which would be criminal if it were legitimate.
Since Apple is having an event on October 21st, most likely for the purpose of releasing new Macs, we've entered FUD Season. . . and Dr. Web Is pushing their Mac AV for business product. . . as they were when they launched it and the Macbotnet claim simultaneously two years ago.
