I believe they will say "Oops!" as Swordmaker just did, and call for a speedy fix.

Download and install the new, updated, revised, and FIXED Security Update 2005-007 V1.1 That was quick.
Apparently, Apple omitted the 64-bit library in the previous update.

I remember once when Apple's install CD's came out of their factory with the WDEF virus on it.
Not a big deal since it was a non-destructive virus... Just sat on your hard drive, duplicated itself disks, and infected other systems. Only way you found out your system was infected was if you ran virus detection software.

Impossible. Ask any MacMoonie - the iCult toy computers are perfect in every way.

I remember when WDEF was going around about 15 years ago. I haven't seen any virus problems on a Mac since then.

Thank you for your inciteful comment...
and, no, that wasn't misspelled.
Are you so insecure in your choice of computer you have to be insulting to those who have not made the same choice?

Nah, it's just fun to be reminded how brittle Macmoonies can be.

I remember once when Apple's install CD's came out of their factory with the WDEF virus on it. My recollection was that it came out on a floppy disk from MacWorld, not on a factory distribution disk... but it would have been possible. I was using Amiga's back then (1989 and Mac OS6.0.4) and really wasn't paying attention to the Mac issues.

Says a lot more about you.

Go hang out on any Windows thread and watch the Macmoonies descend, with their sanctimonious claptrap and yammering about their alleged computers that can't run 90% of the software for sale.

I don't remember Apple shipping anything with WDEF, but in 1998, a magazine called "MacAddict" shipped a CD-ROM containing the "AutoStart Worm".

It's not hanks fault he has to post negative remarks about Apple Macs. It’s hard for him to get his laptop working, the knobs on his etch-e-sketch fell off.
You’ve got to admit Macmoonies is a pretty funny.
