basic as it is, it must be the sign of the beginning.

now that i think about it. does it say the malware started on 21 May 2011, the day of the supposed rapture

theres always been virus's for mac, but I dident realise they had malware too haha. Oh well, still people don't want to make virus's for 20% of the population

LOL apple willl be so pissed, 1 of the major selling points of mac is no hassles like spyware, malware and of coarse virus's...

I believe the Lord Jobs is still claiming OSX is the most secure on the planet as this particular malware "requires user interaction to install". In other words, denial there is a problem.

ANY system can get a virus, malware or whatever. The only way to ensure your computer never gets a virus is to leave it turned off and unplugged.

Still, love watching the Mac fanbois charging to the defence of the their beloved saviour and his company. Classic.

In other words, denial there is a problem.

Come on now . They've admitted its existence and will release an update that will detect and remove it. This isn't denying the problem.

That put aside, OSX has a long way to go before it can claim to be the most secure OS.

Hopefully though Apple will be able to get on top of any new threats before it gets out of hand. If so, they should be able to keep it under control.
