Only if you are dumb enought to run Microsoft products. Of course us Mac OS 9/X and UNIX uses have nothing to fear from this distraction.

[sarcasm] Wow, I had no idea that Mac OS 9/X and UNIX were able to stop ALL virus attacks. Hmmm...I thought I just read about some similiar issues on linux, but I must be wrong, afterall, you said UNIX systems are safe (implying they don't get virus attacks at all) [/sarcasm] Do you realize you just called 90% of the worlds computer users dumb?

Mac OS 9/X and UNIX can be attacked. They aren't attacked as much and don't receive all the press because they aren't the dominate OS's.
If the market positions were reversed, the Mac OS and UNIX would show their vulnerabilities more than they do.
As it is, Crackers concentrate on what they know and are familiar with. Even still, there are Cracker sites which deal with taking down UNIX boxes.

Clearly you don't understand that EVERY operating system
has limitations and vulnerabilities.
I happen to own Linux, various Windows, and at one time Mac computers.
They all have issues.
So step off your pedestal.

I guess I'm one of those "dumb enough" to like software that is widely available.
