I would think that because of Mac OS's BSD background that it is not as easy to create a virus as it is on Windows, the reason being (The same as it is on other Unix based OS's) that the stricter file permissions make it more difficult to infect a file (i.e. in order to infect a file, the user executing the virus, must have write access to the file). And even if a virus did spread, it wouldn't get much farther than to the contents of your home directory. |
