    its possible, but very very rare. Not many people write a virus for such a small share of the market. I've never even heard of anyone getting one. myself. But thanks for the link...

    Many people do.
    Some people just don't know they have them.
    Some Mac haters write viruses just to piss Mac owners off!

    You need security regardless of your situation. Any website can harm your cpu once you surf onto it. Examples are = myspace, porn sites or any site that could be popular. Advertisements, popup ads and anything random can attack you cpu or anyone.
