Yawn.... you make my point for me.

So, for 10 years you Chicken Littles have been running around screaming the sky is falling about Mac viruses, while we, on the other hand have safely ignored your prognostications of doom and gloom and NOT WASTED our time, money, and computational resources on running antimalware to protect our Mac for those same 10 years, enjoying computing without worry, and FINALLY someone tosses a SINGLE, easily avoidable rock over the fence and YOU are claiming justification for those TEN years??? Even a busted clock is right twice a day and has a better track record than THAT!

This vulnerability will be closed. The signature of this new family of Trojan will be added to Apple's definition file to join the other five and we will return to being much safer than the other platform with it's millions of malware rather than our now fewer than 25. That WILL grow. . . but the fact remains there are still ZERO zero self-replicating, self-transmitting, and self-installing viruses, worms, or other malware in the wild that do not require some user assistance to invade a Mac!

All those words, all that shouting. Is it really that stressful to be a Mac user? Are you really that emotionally involved?

It's amusing, I'll give you that.

LMFAO! How many more qualifiers do you need? I think at the 3rd qualifier...it's pretty much over. You know one could do the same for windows as well. Or Linux.
