least 1 of those new Windows viral attachments a day for the last 3 weeks and immediately delete them...He maintains
That is the proper thing to do.
that there are no such things as Mac virus's and that a Windows virus can't be passed on by a Mac and if one can, any
There are Mac viruses, but all of them that *I* know of are not for OS X, and those that are available for older OS versions are going to be pretty hard to come by now.
Windows user that gets a virus either supposedly passed on from a Mac or some other Windows user deserves what they get if they aren't using the latest A/V updates. Anyone know for sure whether a Mac can pass on a Windows virus?
I don't know if they deserve what they get if they aren't using the latest A/V updates. I think that it all boils down to user training and being suspicious of any attachments that get sent to you via email.
To my knowledge, the only way to pass a windows virus to anyone is for a user to manually forward a copy to someone with a windows machine, or for it to sit on a Mac that's acting as a mail server for Windows clients.
