Viruses on Macs, oh no!

[gaping_lotus]

So there is a fairly large Mac virus outbreak.  I haven't got it but I'm seeing people all over the internets who have.  Its a trojan horse being spread through torrent files (iWork 09 and Adobe CS4 products).  I knew that Macs would eventually have a large enough install base to become targets and now it looks like they have reached that tipping

I can't believe it. The "they don't get viruses!" argument I always make to my friends/relatives is no longer valid :-(

Thank you for the info, just in case (I don't do torrenting, but it's good to know)

You can still say, "They don't get AS MANY viruses" or something to that effect.

I think Macs are still way more secure in general but they are definitely not invulnerable. And the fact that most Mac users don't use any antivirus makes me think they will continue to be targeted in the future.
