So isn't it kind of like there aren't any viruses for Macs? Besides, if there were a virus or even a hundred viruses on OS X, Apple would patch up the vulnerabilities in what, a day? IMO, if it were true that the reason there aren't viruses for OS X ONLY because it wouldn't be profitable to attack a minority OS, why hasn't someone created one just to prove a point yet? I just can't believe that NO ONE has tried. That would be way to ridiculous, especially with all of the existing irrational Mac hatred. And concerning the vulnerability this post is about; that was fixed as soon as the researcher found it!

No Pain No Gain -----No Virus No Gain hahahaha finally how you could become more developped in the end with computers if you don't reach to acknowledge yourself a little bit buddy while you reach the right thing to do Sory guys people who use mac doesn’t interact well with every single detail “entourage, interaction, logic, science, math,bla bla …” made by computers with their mind that’s why they became less smarter in computerizing their lives.
No Pain No Gain —–No Virus No Gain

If you did you would realise APPLE are an insult to the computer industry. Fancy making a computer you cannot change the RAM in PHEWW!!! "J says: 8/22/2008 at 7:14 pm Macs are less prone to viruses, because mac has a firewall" HA HA HA, LOL at your comment. Did you know windows has had a firewall shipped since 2000? Also any reputable AntiVirus will have a firewall with it. " ant says: 8/21/2008 at 7:25 am ...to the point where i gave it away because i was sick of loading os and seeing the blue screen when my virus scan failed me...." You obviously F**Ked it up because you have no idea what you are doing. Thats what MACS are for, the dumb user!!!

Sorry you were offended FANBOIS!!!! This is a very acurate article. There is no point kidding yourself and thinking MAC's are impervious. You may have been smart to by a MAC, but you were dumb not to take it straight back. Who would I trust more? UNIX which has been around for 20 or more years, or a ripped-off version of Unix(MAC OSX) which they have been working with close to 5 yeas? Ha Ha Ha. Sorry you were offended FANBOIS!!!!
