It's kind of a long article, so a quick 3-point summary:

1. There are no Mac viruses.
2. To date, there aren't any Mac viruses.
3. If you live in the Rocky Mountain area of the US, and own hurricane insurance, Norton's AntiVirus software is a must-have.

For those using AntiVirus - jerryfritschle

Well, there are always the "proof of concept" stories that appear these days, which may simply be FUD material. Still, since the program finds PC viruses as well, it could be seen as a courtesy to be able to detect these, before inadvertently forwarding them to a friend on "the other side."

A silly non-technical article, apparently by a non-serious person. Not impressed.
