This writier should work for FOX news as the best news agency to create stories when there are none using scare tactics. Are Mac Users so Naive that we do not see or hear the thousands of reports about viruses on PC on a daily basis. We embrace each notice as a clear indicator we have chosen the correct OS platform!
As a sideline, was this really a threating program. I think not. There are serious virus programs out there. The one described to attack the MAC is pretty lame. Keep trying Maybe someday I'll have a use to buy into the virus and spyware market. So far, Apple has a done great job eliminating Tech support people, Virus software programmers, etc. We simply don't need them!
