Hi,
That is dead-on the mark. I always just explain Mac OS X as "Unix with
a GUI". Saying that, very few viruses do exist.

No, the real reason why it's hard is because osx = unix.
Did the tweet include a link? It might be helpfull to include this so
that we can see what the tweeter was going on about.

The new OS
of windows does the same thing. The reason it is hard to get this
stuff on a
Mac is that for now there is no one writing the stuff for the Mac.
Because
it is not a big enough market. Now it becoming more and more
popular this
might change.

I would't worry about it to much, because the mac will ask you if
you want
to install and tell you what is installing.
That is why it is hard to get a virus on a mac now.

someone just retweeted something about malwear now being able to
take over
macs. If this is true, how does everyone think we should protect
our macs? I
know norton and such programmes are available, but I hated them
when I was
on the windows side. One of the reasons I came to the mac was
because the
lack of viruses. Do those of you among us with more knowledge than
I possess
on this matter think this is a real threat and what would you do
about it?
I'm a pretty frightful mac user right now.
