For most damage from one line.

That "honor" belongs to MS, with the sasser worm taking advantage of one line of code that took MS 188 days to fix.

When will Mac users

give up?

So if you have auto updates turned on your fine. You would not even need AV software....just auto updates.

Add in AV software that is up to date...throw in Vista with UAC and that is just another layer.

You have to be stupid....flat out stupid these days to get hit by this.

True is wont hurt a Mac....but that is because these A-holes want to get the most bang for the buck....and they did not want to waste their time on something that has less than 5% market share.

We who use Windows to earn money to support our families (because our company mandates this OS) are very sorry that an interesting article about a clever, but dastardly, exploit struck such a nerve with OS-X users!!

Rather than starting up the old I-am-part-of-the-religion-of-Apple CRAP, why not talk about psycology of the exploit writers? Or the things that ISPs could possibly do the help trim out this stuff. Or, the theory of fuel-injection...

It'd be more interesting than your wanting so-o-o-o hard to be and I told you so!
