Please read the article.

Macs ARE not affected, as this is Windows Malware. The only way they could be affected, is if the Mac were to be a dual-boot machine, and were to boot Windows.

Or, think of it this way ... if your Windows machine had a Mac virus on it; would you care? If it did, it wouldn’t do anything to you, unless you were to boot into an Apple OS.

And, some these malware prorams are approximately 5 years old. If you had an updated copy of Windows, they likely wouldn’t do anything bad anyway - as the patched Windows program would find and eliminate them.
