The old saw that Apple computers are not vulnerable to adware, spyware and viruses is pure bunk, said Mark Loveless, senior security researcher at security firm Network Access Control. "All browsers have problems -- period," he said.

OK - I'll bite. When Mr. Mark Clueless demonstrates ONE - just one - adware/spyware/or virus that my PowerMac or iBook can be "infected" with, I will be more than happy to back him up. I'm waiting....

Yes, I agree! I have Virus Barrier for my Macbook Pro in OS X Tiger, and I have been upset, because not a single virus has been found. It’s a total waste of $75 to even buy anti-virus for a Macintosh computer. Hackers just do not wish to take the time to write viruses for a set of computers that only take up about 5% of the population. They also have a difficult time writing them when they try, because you just can’t get around the stability of a UNIX based OS like OS X Tiger.
