QUOTE(DDSFan8 @ Apr 4 2007, 10:56 PM) also, nobody want to infect MAC anyway. Population too small. No point and no fun Yep. damn true. The reason there are no viruses on Mac is nobody even care to write a virus for it. Complete waste of time. But the Mac OS X is still a better OS than Vista i feel. For the fact that you do get the feelings that Vista is a OS X rip-off

Not sure about Macs though...  we r talking about os not mp3 player lah , your ipod got virus becoz you r format it as windows format already , if you use mac format should be no this problem loh , but once you format it as mac version, you cannot use windows to download or upload songs already . Added on April 5, 2007, 1:20 ami already use mac for long time , i never kena virus/hacker/spam/spy ware....... i think virus creater was no interst wif mac os kua . coz no much ppl use mac in world and they got no point to infect mac os coz virus will not course mac os die de , juz maybe course some software cannot use only ....

I've been using Macs since 1988. I've installed Mac antivirus programmes in the past but have only detected a virus ONCE on a 3.5" floppy. It did NOT cause any damage.
Since then, I've not detected any more.
So much so, I've stopped installing antivirus software.
That answer the question?
