Symantec Says No Viruses Exist for Apple’s OS X – DailyTech.com
There’s a article on the DailyTech that quotes a blog on Symantec’s website, that says that as of right now, there are no virus threats that exist for Apple’s UNIX-based OS X operating system.
However they do state that there is always the possibility that one may arrive in the next few months:
As I tell my internal and external customers alike, just because there are no file-infecting viruses that can affect Mac OS X now, that doesn’t mean there won’t be a really nasty one released in the next five minutes. The likelihood of that happening is comparatively low and could be debated ad nauseam, but as Benjamin Franklin said: “A little neglect may breed great mischief: for want of a nail the shoe was lost; for want of a shoe the horse was lost; and for want of a horse the rider was lost.”
So for the moment Apple OS X 10.4.7 is about as secure as you can get.
