The OS can’t protect you if you agree to install a trojan. If Apple market share increases, it will include dumber users. If people fall for Nigerian bank scams, they will install malware. It’s just a matter of time.
no one is disputing trojans, thats not an os problem its a user problem. When there is a code red or nimda which spreads *by itself* over an unpatched vulnerability ping me will ya’ in the mean time this article is nothing but FUD..
Absolutely, and no virus protection program will protect you from willingly installing programs on your computer. On the other hand, there’s little profit in advising people to be careful. It’s much more profitable to persuade them to purchase a package that does little good and increases system overhead.
