I think this just proves that Macs aren't any safer than Windows... Probably the same for Windows.

This command post by robert sums it up nicely:

Trojan for Macs, so this is a proof that any OS can infect by malwares...
Majority of peoples use Windows that's why lots of malware developers making malwares to Windows, If Mac is majority use of people, it will be vice versa and Windows will probably realize it's safer than Mac.

I think Macs don't have any Internet Security suites was develop for it, so it will be much vulnerable if lots of malware are available on Macs than Windows that has a lot of Internet Security softwares.

Nobody writes Viruses for Mac OSX because it's so easy to find them due to pretty much everything software being screened by Apple.

Actually, there is some AV software for the mac: http://www.symantec.com/norton/macintosh/antivirus Though I don't think anyone uses it.

But the thing is that people that use macs have the mentality that they can do anything like open attachments on a mac because they are completely safe.

BTW, 50% of PCs being sold that cost more than $1000 are macs, so expect more exploits, mac.

There are viruses, for the mac, don't take me the wrong way, I'm just saying they're harder to keep hidden than on PC.
BTW, ClamXav is the best OSX antivirus, and it's free.

Well, for now. But as market share climbs, people WILL find flaws.

Anyway, if there is a good AV for Mac, it doesn't matter until Apple realizes that their users need AV, and starts to admit it.

Ha, I wonder how Apple will claim that they get no virus' in there famous "Mac Vs Pc" Ad :P
