Hi. My wife's friend is complaining about her PC supposedly getting a worm from our computer. She said she got a email from her ISP saying that the message gotten from us was blocked because it contained a possible worm. I don't use any type of antiviral software on my mac because of the relative lack of virii and worms out there. Am I a little naive? I have a g4'd beige with 9.2.2.
All viruses in the wild today forge the apparent "From:" address. your Mac could not have sent the virus without you deliberately doing it.
The ISP in question are idiots, as well, if they're sending on those bogus messages, because they're always wrong.
There's nothing that will affect your system.
