Is the mac so safe now?

[BlackVenom]

Any idiot who can get a virus on a PC can get one on a mac.

Not necessarily. The primary way of getting viruses on Macs is via torrents & pirated software. People don't set traps for macs, they do it for PC. It would take that idiot a long time to succeed in failing on a Mac.

uh, it will be very difficult for macs to get fucked by a "virus" thanks to the way unix is built

Again, not necessarily. As I said when the majority of the world is using Mac the majority of the skids and hackers will be too. If it has a line of code it can be hacked, reversed, and fucked.

if it wants to do anything of any type of importance and not run in "userland" it will need to be root, how do you get to be root? IT NEEDS YOUR PASSWORD WHICH IT CAN'T GET UNLESS IT ASKS YOU FIRST, don't anybody fucking attempt to say "well hell, you could just get the password file and decrypt it" IT WON'T WORK THE KEY TO DECRYPT IT IS IN THE KEYCHAIN WHICH NEEDS A PASSWORD TO BE ACCESSED. If a program has an exploit it needs to be running as root if it wants to do any type of damage, and not many programs run as root. or it could install the "virus" when you install the program, however any idiot could easily see it, all you have to do is go into finder and hit the today button under search for then ta freaking da you can see everything opened, created, or modified in the past day
