That's all fine and good

but Apple OSX is based on tried and tested UNIX and is immune to such vulnerabilities. Magic dust is able to discover exploits before they get a chance to spring into action.

Unix was designed with security in mind and every object is securable with extremely high granularity (me-us-everyone). For even higher granularity you can add ACLs on top.

OSX also has sandbox technology but because the rest of the system is so secure by design, Apple has left it off for internet facing programs.

In case that anything should get past all this, OSX Snow Leopard now also scan for a mind-buggingly two malwares!

And in case anything gets past *that* and age-old feature, RDF*, springs into action and neuters the malware to the point that it cannot be labelled as such anymore.

*RDF = Reality Distortion Field
