Mac viruses? Say it ain't so

Heh. The Mac vs PC virus debate -- The Apple Blog » Viruses on Mac OS X.:

Thus did the argument begin. I pointed out that while there were viruses running around on Mac OS, there aren’t any for Mac OS X (aside from the obligatory mention of MS Office macro viruses). The Mac OS viruses that I’d run across in general were pre-8.5, and couldn’t even run in Classic today. Mac antivirus developers do a great job, and I’m the first one to say “Antivirus? Sure, install that. Cheap insurance against the inevitable.” But actual viruses running around on OS X that can actually do anything, destructive or otherwise? I just haven’t run across any. Spyware’s been a big zero on OS X as well...
