Hmm interesting link. They've talked about such things before but until there's more evidence ... BTW there are AV companies that employ people to create viruses & then they create fixes for them. I guess this company may have found some loophole that they can frighten people with so they'll buy their av product. I'd like to hear more from "official channels" before being totally convinced. Mac OSX is frequently bringing out security updates to prevent such issues ... rather than some 3rd party poorly managed softw. that doesn't take security into consideration. Interesting point thanks Grandpa.

Hehe

I'm sure you're right grandpa. I've been waiting 5 years for OS X to catch up with malware, but no real luck so far

All that wasted RAM, HD space and CPU cycles, when I could have been running all those great malware programs.

btw-the first "virus" didn't really work, and the second only runs on intel macs using IM.

Darn! I'm missing out again! You Windows guys have all the fun

and don't forget when we last discussed this--and even got the guy who wrote the proof of concept on the first virus to participate

Seriously though, this razzing each other is all in fun. If anyone takes this mac/windows bashing seriously, let me know and I'll happily shut up.

My computer is better than you computer NaaNaNaaNaNaaaNa.

The day any of us can't have fun poking fun at our choice of computers is the day we need to unplug our computers.
