this what cnn reports

However, the worm itself does not appear to pose an immediate threat.

"While this particular worm is not fully functional, the source code could be easily modified by a future attacker to do damage,"

i'm sick of this. plus Symantc makes money by selling it's anti-virus product.

Seriously - there needs to be no more posts about Mac virus/trojans/malware.

This is getting absurd and way over-hyped.

There are probably over 1 billion websites about Windows virus/trojans/malware, and people think nothing of it.

But they will bend over backwards to search every crevice of OS X looking for the slightest, most minute hint of a flaw, and then scream bloody murder if they find it.

All these new threads about non-existant threats are doing uneeded harm, fueling even more misconceptions. Unless you're on Symantecs payroll, please, no more.
