Mac Virus - Reliable source

[Sarah Reichelt]

The only viruses/worms so far for Mac OS X have all been written by
manufacturers of anti-virus software trying to demonstrate that their
products are necessary. And even then, they all relied on people
entering their user name & password when requested by some unknown
piece of software, and none of them have ever propagated in the Mac
community.

Instead of paying for anti-virus software, I would recommend just
being cautious and checking any time you are asked for your password.

Cheers,
Sarah
