--- Quote from: Se7en ---yeah right, im going to belive an article obviously written by a rabidly pro-mac geek that doesnt even have the good grace to put their name to the article? Thats rotton journalism, if you could even call it that.

Lowendmac is most definitely not rotten journalism. They are pro-mac, but they don't lie. I dare you to find me an article reporting any other Mac OS X virus. Even another article reporting this one. Go on, do it...
jhocking:
These aren't more viruses, but more amusing articles related to OSX virus vulnerability:
This one reminds me of why the first thing I did at my new job was stop running Norton on all the machines: because Syantec is a bunch of cocks.

seven probably shouldn't read this one, as the writing smacks of fanboyism.

I dont see what the issue is. Virii are the result of poor administration, and stupid users. I havn't had a single virus on any of my machines, in over 10 years of windows use. Every virus infection i have ever seen has been atributable to idiots that open obviously infected emails and the like.
Speaking as an IT journalist, i can tell you that fanboyism has no place whatsoever in legitimate journalism. Such bias invalidates the entire article, and undermines whatever credibility the writer ever had.
Bottom line: Windows security is a fairly trivial task, and whatever a mac costs, you can get twice the PC for the same price.
Tedd:
I've never used a Mac before, unless that time I stayed at the Apple store using their internet for two hours because I was kicked out of the house.
....
They weren't too happy about it.
Lug:
I don't see a point why I should use a Mac because there isn't anything that a Mac can do that Linux can't.
If all you want is a laptop to go and surf the web, check your e-mail, play some tunes, instant message and use a word processor try out Ubuntu.
You can get all the features you want without having to pay out the nose.
