[Ti] Off_Topic: Are there OSX viruses?

[Wilhelm Wanders]

half a year ago i actually had a macro virus in ms word, i wasn't able 
to trace back where it came from, must have been some classmate that 
send me a file ....
anyways i found out that i had that thing through norton anti virus 
.... it didn't do anything to my computer, but every file that i saved 
in ms word (after opening in infected doc) was getting affected with 
that worm and people with windoze pc's got it on theirs ..........
that was quite new to me, that it actually 'could' work on a mac, well 
it used MS word and its macro language =)
didn't do any harm hough - and that was the only thingy i ever saw on 
my mac
