Apple Says Macs Are Safe, No Antivirus Needed

P.S. My mind hasn't been dulled by 30 minute episodes and 10 minute commercial breaks.

Get out of the house once in awhile and maybe you'd learn to take a joke once in awhile and laugh at yourself.

i got this virus on my vista machine. It runs at boot. It's constantly trying to install other software like mobile me and safari. It constantly tries to reboot my machine at the worst times. And worst of all half of my music files won't play on any other machine since i got this virus.
It seems likely that osx is also susceptable to the itunes virus
