This year, the list had something different, however: The group flagged the collective vulnerabilities in Apple Computer's Mac OS X operating system as a major threat.

What a bunch of winers. No operating system is 100% secure and non will be made I agree that the security model on MacOS X is far secure compared to Windows even Poul Turrot on winsupersite agrees on that. This is not what this is about and people who understands security will tell you that. Security is not only vira and trojans but also Understanding how to use your firewall. Not working on your admin account then on the internet and using secure password that can´t be broken easily with programs like mac the ripper. This might be obvious for you but not for people like my dad.
