See ALL the stars!
The Mac security model is such that a virus couldn't do anything to a system that backing up your files won't fix. (You do that, right? 
)
I'm kinda anxious to see first real virus on macs. I keep hearing how mac are "virus free" and "viruses are no threat". When the first threat comes and fucks up half the macs of globe, I will either a) ROLF or b) come back haunting and ROLF in front of most vocal mac user.

Uh, there's been malware for Macs... you can get ClamAV and Kaspersky and the like for them....

There are vulnerabilities in Unix-like systems, but they're rare.
A determined attacker could theoretically edit and execute a file that the sysadmin has setuided and placed in an user's home directory with execution permissions on, thus causing escalation of privileges if the script is hijacked.. Thing is, these vulnerabilities are hardly consistent from computer to computer.
Ofc, you should not put setuided scripts on places where lusers (or malware) can edit'em.

You exist because we allow it and you will end because we demand it.

Okay. I make a point to not download things I don't understand, so I guess I'm alright...

I know it's not absolutely necessary (nobody really ever makes Mac viruses), but I'm still worked about picking up spyware. What options are available for mac users? Will Avast work on a Macintosh?
