Hey, what's a virus?

Thought you all might enjoy this, unless you have to maintain PCs, then this is a heads-up:

Sircam and Nimda, two 6 + month old virii are still the top threats for PCs.

Anyone remember the last time you saw a virus on a Mac? For me it's the autoexec that shows up on floppies occasionally in the lab, but I suspect it's just Virex being anal...

my PeeCee friends laugh at me whe I tell them I don't use any virus protection software.

But they stop when I tell them I've never had a virus.

Are you being Sarcastic? many? I have never had a Virus on any of My Macs. The only problems I have had is from Stuff I installed and Stuff I broke my self.

I have no virus software on my mac, nor have I ever. (I suppose its a bit stupid and I really should put some on it!)

Anybody have an idea how many visuses there are on OSX?
