Could you give some links to information about MacOS viruses? I am really curious. The only thing I can find on the web are some trojans (like Flashback) installed into user's web browser settings. These do not constitute viruses in my book, as they do not lead to system level compromise, they are just something installed into particular user's space with consent of that particular user. The only other thing I remember was when Apple failed to include into updates long released java vulnerability fix... compromise through which doesn't constitute successful virus attack in my book as well.
