MAC/SECURITY: The End Is Near? A LEAP of Faith...

So maybe it's not really a virus, and maybe you'd have to be daft to open an unsolicited iChat attachment, and maybe OS X forces you to enter your admin password every time you install something, and maybe this is an issue for all 'NIX based systems (UNIX, BSD, LINUX, etc.), and maybe it's been all over the tech news.

This isn't the digital Pearl Harbor I've been anticipating, but it's making me think hard about putting ClamXAV back on my precious iBook. You can read the sordid tale at The Register by clicking here.
