"New" Mac OS X threats?? Where? How?
Your "article" barely mentions one internet redirect that you tell us is 18 months old. This is new? This is malware?
No, this is just more OS X FUD being spread by ZDnet. This is the closest I've seen to anything on the internet that can damage Apples, but it's a blatant attack on the brand, not the actual computers.
If you guys didn't have the flimsiest of "journalism" shield to hide behind you'd have been bankrupted for libel years ago.

RE:Are BS articles on Mac threats Malware?
You are right. Macs are invulnerable to virii, trojans, rootkits, and all other forms of malware. There is no need for concern. No need for any kind of anti threat tools. You are perfectly secure. Everything's going to be fine. Don't worry about a thing.

Lame sarcasm richdave...
Fact is, there are no virii for a mac... There is
only socially engineered malware for the Mac...
I collect virii as a hobby, been doing it since
1989... If there was a virus for OS X, I would
own a copy...
