Who said Apple does not have viruses and Trojans? Not long ago AppleScript-THT Trojan was found but it is not replicating it self. AppleScript-THT allows attacker to gain remote control and logging keystrokes. Also it can take pictures via iSight camera.

OS’s effected:

Mac OS X 10.4

Mac OS X 10.5

Yes Mac’s have virus threats, and this is a good example…. as long as the user downloads and installs the virus manually…

If you are manually downloading and installing unknown apps, I’m not sure how much virus software is going to help you.
