Big news on MAC Computers..

The legend of the virus-free Mac operating system has been proven untrue, according to a Russian web security company that claims 555,000 computers running Mac OS X have been affected by malware.

Dr. Web says its research suggests the Flashback Trojan is particularly strong in Canada and the United States, implying it seems to be targeting English-speaking users.

The virus first surfaced in its current form in February, with Apple only releasing a security update in response on Tuesday, the Russian firm said. http://www.ctv.ca/CTVNews/TopStories...#ixzz1rEZRDftg
