Sorry, but Macs are no longer immune to viruses, and haven't been for quite awhile. Both our G5 i-Mac (Tiger OS) and an early Intel Macbook both got weird infections. There is a Norton for Macs too, among other brands. Since so many Mac users still believe the old conventional wisdom, Macs are juicy targets for the scamsters.
