No real virus exists for Mac OS X other than some proof of concept ones, and ones that require you to actually type in your username/password and execute it yourself.    Fail. The reason there is LESS viruses for mac is because no one takes the incentive to make them, because theres way fewer people using macs. Its not like mac is any more secure whatsoever, as it is easy to make a virus for anything if you know C. and thats including macs. Just watch, everyone will start buying macs, and then the viruses will show up fast. see i don;t know if this is true but it scares me about macs even though from what i have read about a macs security system it is alot more secure than what people think. as for the poster, there is no known virus on Mac OS X that is gonna screw up everything or as some1 said before, 1 that you don't execute yourself drifting Posted at 9:10 pm on June 28, 2008 Quote: from marshmellowman at 8:49 pm on May 21, 2008 This is bullshit.

There are several remote exploits. Safari is constantly exploited. It may not be your typical "crash your system" virus like there is in Windows, but there are several remote exploits. Just because you use a .Mac, you arent completely safe. TheWeatherGirl Posted at 2:18 pm on June 28, 2008 Mac virus? Name please.

Automater "viruses" require you to actually run the program for them to work, and obviously they are not hidden. superjoebob Posted at 11:56 pm on June 6, 2008 Quote: from marshmellowman at 5:49 pm on May 21, 2008 This is bullshit.

Because it went away on its own, and virus on my PC made my dell computer unable to turn on without a complete re installation of the system. Err... it went away by itself. Sounds fishy. warcrack Posted at 4:10 am on May 21, 2008 Quote: from Phoenix27 at 6:42 am on May 21, 2008 Trust me... They never really leave.... Indeed, it's probably hiding itself in a system folder. But half the viruses on Macs are made by script kiddies that think they're hardcore. Half of the viruses out there aren't harmful.
