I'm not making a federal case out of anything. Merely pointing out  
your repeated behavior of stating opinion as fact, and then backing  
out of it later.

There is as of yet, no fix for the trojan from Apple. You stated that  
the 10.4.5 update contained the fix for the virus. You stated it  
without equivocation. If you don't know you are correct, say so in  
the post, not 3 posts later. Don't act as if you are an expert when  
you know not much more, and apparently much less, than the average  
denizen of the newbies list.

Better. A simple "I think..." would work. If, as you say, you are  
'exploring', or 'trying to figure out', say so in the post.

Stop whining.
