Any OS has a certain percentage of users that are fool enough to install viruses that most of us would not. My point was that, now that Macs are more common and their market share is growing, there may be more viruses on the horizon that will affect OS X in the future. That would really shake the confidence of all those users that bought macs because they thought they couldn’t get viruses.
Yes, I’m a PC user and always have been. I was a desktop tech in a previous life and I worked on Macs when we got a call ticket. I was the only one who would because all the other techs didn’t like dealing with the condescending and impatient users that had them.
Please take the time to learn the difference between a "virus" and a "trojan". You sound very foolish, conflating the two.
Granted that most users (of any flavor of computer) don't know the difference, but you are claiming greater knowledge than them.
Trojans require some amount of assistance from the user. Viruses do not.
And while there are a small number of Trojans in the wild for Macs, there are ZERO true viruses for Macs in the wild, at the present time.
I call Pot kettle on that remark, the M$ bigots are plentiful. Just read a few of the posts here.
A thread is posted to inform Mac users of a potential threat, and all the hand clappers who have been beleagured with malware and virus detection software, which in itself could be considered a virus, show up here to gloat as tho they had accomplished something.
