A Mac Virus?

It looks like somebody finally decided that Macs needed to have a virus of their own. The Washington Post reports that a virus is now being spread through Macs using the iChat program. It disguises itself as a file containing a picture of the next-generation Apple operating system, called "latestpics.tgz." Once opened, it sends itself to everyone in the iChat buddy list. Although it is only one virus, it proves that even Apples can be the targets of viruses. I just hope that Mac users weren't too boisterous about the lifetime, virus-free history that they have enjoyed by not downloading anti-virus software.
