i love my Mac for this reason alone- no more windows and the crap you have to endure! i have a theory that these virus protection companies are actually the ones writing these viruses/spyware/worms in order to make the vicious circle of money flow. new virus=new update....etc.

I'd think if there was a virus like this, it'd go for US computers.. and not pirated computers. I'd say it'd go for every kind of windows it would. Kinda convenient that everybody knows when it is coming out too huh?

I haven't been following this story at all (sitting easy on Mac OS X), but I don't understand how they know it's coming? How is that possible?
