That is one virus that hit a mac. Comparably, pc's are much more prone to virus's, and get them alot more often. I am not saying macs are perfect becasue they arnt, My hard drive crashed over winter break this year and i lost everything....but everything is scanned that comes into my computer, and nothing gets through without being checked. I've been a PC user all my life until i got to school and needed a Mac. It takes a while to get used to it, and to know what you are doing, but after a while it makes using a computer far easier and faster than any pc. And btw, won't be long untill mac's are the new pc. look at vista for example.
