    So every virus for Macs will get killed in the next update? Very nice work for Apple if it happens that way.

    'It's reasonably trivial to remove MacDefender,' said Wisniewski. 'It's not burying itself in the system, not compared to some of some of the crap that we see on Windows.'

    Pity it won't always be that way, survival of the fittest applies to viruses too.
