The first 'wild' virus I saw was...
in 1988 and was on a Mac, not a PC. You may want to keep that anti-virus software around, just in case.

There is a real risk to Mac or Linux people thinking they're immune to these things. They aren't. They're just a less common and a more difficult target than a default Windows system. Encouraging people to ignore security precautions is dangerous because they will do it.
