Two new Mac OSX Trojans spotted... these are apparently in the wild. PING!
Both use social engineering and require the complicity of the users.
There is also a potential remote exploit that has not been seen in the wild that would allow rooting the Mac, according to the people reporting it.
MacPing!
If you want on or off the Mac Ping List, Freepmail me.

Bears repeating, but there are plenty of rabid people who won't.

Don’t knock complicity of the user as a method of trading viruses. Iloveyou needed the user to double click on it and hit 10% of the computers on the net. People are always the biggest security hole.
