Melissa Jehnings said: "Although Mac viruses are easier to write, they are written much simply-minded. That is, it just has one thing in mind...to mess up a Mac. However, if you're keeping count of viruses, there are fewer Mac viruses (I think the last count was at 16) than there are for PC's, although PC viruses are usually much more sophisticated." Another important thing to note is that none of the Mac virii known as of Disinfectant 2.4 are specifically malignant: i.e. they only attempt to spread, rather than trying to destroy files. As we all know, this is dangerous anyways, but at least it's heartening to know that aside from a few old Trojans, the Mac environment isn't lethal yet. - -- "I have a very interesting pencil holder.
