Apple Macs now seen as a 'soft target' for spreading viruses | Mail Online

Nothing really new in that report-but it still points out that the biggest potential security problem for Macs is social engineering. A pseudo-protective application that "guards your Mac against hazards" or whatever, is precisely what social engineering is about: convince someone they "need" your malware and get them to install it voluntarily.

If Mac OS X is a soft target for virii, where are they?

Trojans installed via social engineering are a completely different animal. Not the same problem at all.
