Its a well known that Sophos likes to scare the Mac users. Why? Because they sell anti-virus software for the mac!

And a Mac virus WOULD get much press. Why? Because it would be a first and rare. Sure, there have been viruses. Back in System 6 & 7. HFS+ eradicated those, and they were REAL viruses, not this stuff that is made.

People seem to forget that, a real virus is accidental or self-generated. The definition has been twisted into something made by malicious people because thats what most are now. Its sad really.

Show me a virus, a real one, not a "proof of concept".
