Again, as I said in my first post, it’s a numbers game. If someone gets their rocks off writing malicious code, they are going to write it for the most popular platform so it spreads as far and as quickly as it can. A Mac’s security is ONLY one that is by shear lack of interest, not designed in. It is the worst kind of security, born of a false notion, not rooted in reality. It breeds complacency....bad bad juju in the security world.

Well, viruses have hit cellphones.... And the Mac has quite a huge installed base - 5% of e-friggin-normous is still a huge number.... And there's the opportunity to let a lot of air out of the viewpoint that the Mac is more secure.

That adds up to plenty of motivation to write a persuasive Mac OS X virus.

All you offer is speculation. All we offer is results. Some "professional" - ha!
