HYPERLINK "http://db.tidbits.com/article/9534"http://db.tidbits.com/article/9534 Read the entire article so you get the real meaning of it. snip… Reports surfaced today that a new virus is slowly spreading throughout the Mac community. The first infections appeared a few days after HYPERLINK "http://www.macworldexpo.com/"Macworld Expo in January 2008 and were initially centered in the San Francisco and Cupertino areas, but soon spread throughout California, with additional hotspots in major metropolitan areas throughout North America and Europe. The virus continues to spread slowly and efforts to eradicate it have been unsuccessful. Although Mac users usually have a relatively lower risk of viruses than their Windows brethren, experts believe this infection is isolated to the Mac community, and it is not expected to transition to the broader computing world.
