The really sad part about this whole thing is that most mac users (gotta be somewhere close to 80%) don't run any type of malware protection software or firewalls (aside from a basic router, i.e. Airport Extreme), and a lot of this has to do with the Apple's "I'm a Mac" and other ads about how this sorta thing just doesn't happen to Macs. I've been in many schools that have rooms full of Macs that aren't protected, and they say that's why they bought them instead of PC's. They didn't want to have to spend the extra time and money on security and malware protection.Naturally, users of Trend Micro antivirus software are automatically protected from the malicious websites, and are advised to get the latest Snow Leopard update directly from Apple.
