After your identity has been stolen, your bank accounts compromised, 53 critical patches and 27 reboots later, when will you decide that you've had enough?

Wrongo. There are viruses for OSX, you clearly don't know what you're talking about. But it's not viruses that you need to worry about, rather rootkits. With OSX's BSD core a rootkit is something that you need always worry about, even though the chance is remote.

No system is perfect or secure. Your article simply spreads more FUD in the guise of IT information.
