[RawBert]

Sounds like the company needs to educate* its employees.

Totally agree. But then again, IT needs job security.

Exactly. Shouldn't MS shills should go to windows rumors?

He has the same rights as others to post his opinion. Just because it may upset your apple reverence doesn't mean he should not be posting here.

At least he doesn't throw out logic and common sense when posting something, like many of the fanboys here.

I know OS X cannot get a true virus...

False. Mac OS X CAN get a virus. They just don't, since none exist in the wild. Like every other OS, Mac OS X is not immune to viruses or malware in general. However, the only Mac OS X malware that a user can encounter can be thwarted by the user exercising common sense and safe computing practices.

That logic in large part works for windows as well.

The day is coming when OSX malware will be more insidious and harder to root out.

Except for the part where "none exist in the wild.". There's plenty of self-replicating worms/viruses for different versions of Windows out there.

There's also a OS X Worm out there it seems, using an iChat exploit.
