The hackers have decided there are >enough MAC's around to start creating viruses targeting them. Not really. Still no viruses (viri?). What there have been recently is Tr ojan Horses. Mostly based on errors in programs that run everywhere, not in Mac OS or Mac-specific pro grams. There isn't much you can do about someone downloading a program and then executing it! At least the Mac now tells you -- "You are running this program for the f irst time, are you sure you want to execute it?" Or sometimes "You just downloaded this from the Internet, are you sure yo u want to execute it?" I'm sure it won't last forever. But 24 years of never getting a single vi rus at home is pretty cool.
