the issue over virus code is simple good people
any system at all is vulnerable to attack. whether its direct port
hacking, viruses designed for specific functions or other methods of
destruction. no machine is safe at all. but the likelyhood of a virus
hitting a macintosh is incredibly incredibly slim. viruses are
designed by hackers who either just want to inflict pain on personal
users, bring down companies in one fowl swoop or whatever. if an idiot
writes a virus for a mac you get the impression straight away that the
idiot writing it has a vendetta against apple hardware. maybe
jealousy or something like that. or just malicious intent.
antivirus packages have been out for the macintosh for many years now
and to be honest through my time I've never found the need for an
antivirus.
the other probable reason for virus attacks on the mac could be this
and its only a supposable theory. Intel Architecture and the
connection with windows etc. as the PPC chips upto the G5 series were
never harmed by virus code. maybe apple should have thought about it a
bit more.

No mac virus? In pc world's daily news summary a couple of weeks ago
there was an article about more and more viruses and trogens written
for the mac. And even apple says its better to be safe than sorry.
