Sophos, the Maytag repair man
Got the tool kit and the snappy looking uniform but nothing to fix.

Too bad they begin to resort to FUD tatics to sell more of their wares:

>> "Even when viruses can't run specifically on the Mac platform, Macs continue to be carriers of viruses, thus increasing the overall spread," said a Sophos representative.<<

I quess my sense of netizen resposiblilty is suppossed to kick in after reading this and I should, at once, buy their product!

Actually, I assume it might be possible to turn an OS X box into a zombie, but sure haven't heard of any actual cases of it yet.
