There is no virus written for Unix. Its obvious since to get a program installed, you need to log on as a superuser in Linux/Mac OS X. I still don't have an antivirus program on either my Linux laptop or Mac Mini since there doesn't appear to be any instance of a successful Unix virus in the wild. I think this is a hoax.

Getting closer to the first self-propagating worm. It'll happen eventually. Still, five years into OS X and we're still waiting for the first one.

This oughta make Apple happy, actually ... it means that they're getting popular enough for people to write viruses for them. Their market share may be heading north soon....

...it does require user activation... In other words, only people stoopid enough to type in an admin's login and password when prompted will experience this exploit.

Actually this Trojan is very easy to write.
I could writer something similar for Linux, but the real trick is in getting some idiot to install it.
