SAN FRANCISCO, California (Reuters) -- A new computer worm targeting Apple Computer Inc.'s Macintosh computers has been identified for the second time in one week, security experts said.
I can't wait to see what the Apple zealots are saying about this.

As has been predicted, the "security" of OSX owes more to obscurity than security. And this is just the beginning. The irony is that when the Apple folks have to start installing antivirus and spyware software the platform will start to shrink again. Their bubble of sucess will spell their doom.

It was obvious it would happen, but I still love my iBook. I'll have to be more carefull with where I go and install.. Just like in my Windows Box. Nothing new, nothing to see.. Move on...

You're the real thing,
Even better than the real thing.

My computer science teacher always complains about how Windows systems get viruses and how he ates using them in school. He always brags about how his mac never has any problems and ho he never has to worry about viruses. Im printing this and shoving it in his face about how he is now wrong. Go people who have nothing better to do than foil apple's attempts at perfect anti viruses.

I don't see why you guys all are preaching this mac hate. It's just another OS, albeit one based on Unix - The superior system:P.

The main advantage of a *NIX based os is the root/non-root user setup. Even though there is a trojan, it shouldn't be able to take over the computer, unless it's given root access. The fix might be as simple as deleting the current user and making a new one.

I don't hate Mac at all. I just hate the Apple elitists that have been ragging Windows for years. I just like to see those people eat crow.
