[P1] Mac gloating...

[Scott Warren]

I agree with that... but if anyone (Windows Internet Explorer)  
connected to an infected website, they got the bug also unless I read  
that wrong...

 From Norton:  Download.Ject is a Trojan horse that attempts to download  
and install a file by exploiting the vulnerabilities in Internet  
Explorer (BID 10472, BID 10473). The Trojan is triggered by visiting a  
Web site that contains the exploit code.

I have not seen any kind of list of infected websites... and still not  
a problem for Macs (hehe)
