All of the exploits for OSX that I have seen suck. They lack delivery systems. I'll be worried when there is alot of Mac adware.

...which is why I've browsed safely for 2 1/2 years without a single problem while my wife just found 144 spyware/viruses on her Gateway (after I wiped others out for her a month ago).
