    replying to cashmonee;

    exactly what i'm trying to say. there are currently no real virus on mac but just don't do careless things. be vigilant!

    and thats a great comfort knowing even a virus require you to type a password :) before doing any harm (is this is still how it is done when you're logged in as admin right?).

    I am not sure if that worm still required a password. I honestly never run as admin so I have forgotten how the passwords work in that mode. Everyone should run as limited on OS X.
