As for virus, I was using it as a generic term in that instance. I will be more specific.

Secondly, would the author please name the virus (self propagating malware) for Mac OS X? There’s been one trojan in the wild, and one other exploit (DNSChanger). Both required user interaction – entry of your password – to install. Even Apple can’t fix user stupidity. They can (and likely will) fix design flaws.

Where was the righteous indignation when Nero could wipe your whole hard drive if you set the temp directory to the root of your hard drive? Did that make Nero a ‘virus’?
