    Yeah, worth noting that the greater the MAC share of the market, the greater the number of these things that begin to crop up.

    You'd also have to be pretty silly to get infected. More issues are going to occur as Apple takeover market share, but hopefully they will be addressed quickly.

    Re: MAc trojan

    It's not the first mac trojan and won't be the last =)

    As Gordy said you need to be pretty silly to get infected..it's hard enough to get infected with a windows virus/worm etc if you have a bit of common sense, so when your on a mac with a tiny number of viruses/worms etc compatitively the chances of being infected (without you doing something thick) is tiny.
