On the contrary. My wife is a publicist (and a longtime Mac user). She takes receipt of MANY documents produced under Windows, some of which contained virii, and she has inadvertently passed those on to other Windows users, except when she was using anti-virus software. So the issue is not simply one of 'are there any virii for Macs', but can the Mac be a conduit for Windows nastiness... and the answer is, yes it can.

You're right. I made that "tired old argument" in an earlier post. But Windows is the reason this crapware exists in the first place.

You do realize that the very internet which allows you to post these comments is comprised of many computers and many of them are windows based. So if you unknowingly pass on a virus and it infects those computers you are affected as well. Not only that but so is everyone else. Just a thought.

Your post is horribly ignorant! To say in all CAPS that there are no Mac viruses is irresponsible at best!

I feel so sorry for your whopping 500 (so impressive) Mac users.
Post back here when you and your users do catch a virus and let us know how it goes.

To say that there are no viruses for ANY operating system is terribly ignorant and shows me very clearly that you do not know your trade at all.
There is and never will be an OS that is immune to viruses and other types malware.
You should find another job doing something less complicated.

Don't get me wrong, Symantec software for the Mac is and probably always will be total garbage. I am not endorsing it by any means. In fact I recommend staying far away from it.
But listening to this guy is likely just as bad.
