Getting *way* off-topic...
First of all that's a 5-year old press release. Secondly that's
referring to OS8.6, a code base that is no longer in use. The current
OSX (say "OS Ten") is based on FreeBSD, one of the most secure forms of
UNIX out there which Apple makes more secure by releasing small updates
monthly.
Found by a Google search: "At the moment there are NO OSX viruses,
except the ones that live in Microsoft Word and Excel macros, which are
the only ones that can be spread between Macs".
