True. I can't, as there are not any for OS 10. At least not that I'm aware of. Sorry, I should have been more specific. There are a very small amount of viruses for earlier versions of the Mac OS, usually OS 7 and earlier (quick google search, it's been years since a virus on a Mac was even an issue). Searching Symantecs AV database brings up a few, mainly hypercard infectors. Now, MS word macro viruses, those will infect a MS word document, if written correctly, but usually the only damage they can do is to the document itself, or turn the Mac into a carrier. Most, if not all, of those viruses were written to take advantage of windows security holes, which don't exist on a Mac. -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
