Jim; We don't have any virii on the Mac OS X, but there are a few trojans out. You really need to think twice before clicking on links (true for any platform). It is highly recommended that you have "Open "safe" files after downloading" UNchecked in Safari preferences. Automatically running an unsafe downloaded file will eventually get you into trouble and compromise your system!
