And? I never said, Mac OS X is invulnerable, as it is vulnerable evident by trojans and other malware and the recent Flashback trojan, I only said, that there are no actual viruses affecting Mac OS X at the current time.
If that does not go into your head, fine, I have seen that many times.
But your replies linking to one article after the other and then those videos does make you seem like a conspiracy nut job. Maybe you are, maybe you aren't, I don't care, but you could have kept it confined to YOUR thread and it didn't need to spread into another thread.
Then again, you seem not actually care about solving your Mac problem, if there is one, and you don't seem to care about knowing facts.
I have better things to do, then to respond to the ********* you are posting, like feeding the spinach cat, who actually exists.
The thing is you didn't care to read and look at the videos!
So READ!

Apple is Asking Kaspersky for Security Advice
By Jared Newman, PCWorld May 14, 2012 1:16 PM
Editor's Note: Kaspersky has denied that Apple has requested its help to improve the security of Mac OS X. The security company has offered up the following statement from Nikolay Grebennikov:
"As Mac OS X market share continues to increase, we expect cyber-criminals to continue to develop new types of malware and attack methods. In order to meet these new threats, Kaspersky Lab has been conducting an in-depth analysis of Mac OS X vulnerabilities and new forms of malware.
This security analysis of Mac OS X was conducted independently of Apple; however, Apple is open to collaborating with us regarding new Mac OS X vulnerabilities and malware that we identify during our analysis.
Kaspersky Lab is committed to providing the highest level of security for all of our customers, including Mac OS X, and we will continue to enhance our technologies in order to meet the ever-changing threat landscape."
Apple, whose Mac OS was once known for its rock-solid security, is seeking outside help to root out vulnerabilities
Kaspersky CTO Nikolay Grebennikov told U.K. publication Computing that Apple has invited the security vendor to help improve Mac OS security.
"We've begun an analysis of its vulnerabilities, and the malware targeting it," Grebennikov said.
Grebennikov added that the Mac OS is "really vulnerable" to malware, and that Apple "doesn't pay enough attention to security." A recent study from Trend Micro showed that Apple reported more vulnerabilities than any other tech vendor in the first three months of 2012.
A bit of fear-mongering is expected from companies who are in the business of selling anti-virus software. (See also: Routine freak outs about Android malware.) Still, there are signs that the Mac OS isn't the airtight platform that Apple once made it out to be.
The biggest ding to Apple's reputation came thanks to Flashback, a strain of malware that was able to infect Macs when users visited compromised Websites. Flashback infected roughly 600,000 Macs according to security experts, making it the largest case of Mac malware to date. Apple has since patched the underlying Java vulnerability and issued a removal tool, but the company took flak from security experts for taking two months to deliver a fix after Oracle discovered the problem in Java.
Kaspersky has been a major critic of Apple's security policies. Last month, founder and CEO Eugene Kaspersky told CBR that Apple was "10 years behind Microsoft in terms of security." The company has slammed Apple for being slow to address vulnerabilities and has called on the company to change its update cycle for patches.
Whether that will happen is still unclear, but at least Apple appears to be listening now.

The problem is, for the sake of blaming others.
You didn't want to read to find out and watch the link videos.
Well if you didn't want to know about them so be it!
If that what you asked for.
Is this the way you gain knowledge by ignoring someone else reports?
When you do get a virus who do you turn to?
I remember that my boss said to me. "Every customer that I come across didn't care to read the manuals!" "They just buy those things and expect to spoon feeding. They want everything to be instant!"
"They don't care to read to find out and get the answers!" "If you don't read, how are you going to get the answer right?" "They starts to clicking around the mouse all over the desktop screen not knowing what to do. They expected us, to do the thing for them. When you go to their house they expect you to install everything! Every-Thing that they have. They don't even know how to install programs! They want an answer and a solutions, ask them to learn the hard way. They is no easy way out to get things done if you don't read! If you have eyes to see, READ. If you have a ear, they Don't listen to what others said." "And so they starts to blame everyone else in the retail store. Including the technical support guys and sales teams. And including me." "Those people are so lazy to Read! Aren't they go to school to get a degree?!" "Tell the tech support guys not to spoon feed them, let them learn the hard way." "Well everyone learn thru trial and error." "Well you have to fall in order to walk right?" "That's call learning!" "Aren't these people learning something when they buy a computer?" "They are afraid to try. They are afraid of computers!"
LOL!
