Of course, those who follow these sorts of things know such a claim is misleading at best. <A href="http://www.switched.com/tag/osx">OS X</A> has seen a number of <A target="_blank" href="http://www.betanews.com/article/Mac-malware-poses-as-popular-freeware-PDF-viewer/1251230849">viruses</A> and <A href="http://www.switched.com/2009/04/23/new-botnet-targets-mac-computers/">other nasties</A> over the past several months, as the OS has gained popularity. And now Apple seems to finally be admitting, if rather quietly, that OS X is not quite immune to the Internet's more nefarious elements.</DIV></blockquote><div style="border-bottom: solid 1px #dcdcdc; white-space: nowrap; margin-bottom: 8px; background-color: #eeeeee ;background-image: url(http://www.clipmarks.com/images/source-bg.gif); background-repeat: repeat-x; height: 24px; line-height: 24px; vertical-align: middle; padding-bottom: 4px; color: #666666; font-size: 10px;" ><a href="http://clipmarks.com/clip-to-blog/" title="see clips that are hot right now"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/clip-icon.gif" alt="" width="19" height="19" border="0" style="vertical-align: middle; margin: 0px 4px; display: inline; border: none; float:none;" /></a>clipped from <a title="http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2352208,00.asp" href="http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2352208,00.asp" style="font-size: 11px;">www.pcmag.com</a></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2352208,00.asp"><P>Intego, the company that broke the Snow Leopard anti-malware story, <A href="http://blog.intego.com/2009/08/27/macworld-on-apples-anti-malware-feature-in-snow-leopard/">claims that the detection of the iServices Trojan won't work</A> because Apple's software doesn't detect files downloaded through BitTorrent, just web browsers, e-mail clients and iChat.
