My only issue with this number is the ratio of macs to PCs out there.

Old boring argument. The simple fact is that macs don't have internet
explorer (anymore), don't have activeX, and don't have outlook, all of
which happily execute attachments. Macs, and unix systems in general,
are not fertile ground for this type of exploit. PCs are designed
from the ground up with poor security.

No arguments there! Internet Explorer and Outlook are the equivalent
of revolving doors for hackers, and I never use them. Firefox, No
Script and Adblock ftw. I've only ever used Forte Agent for
newsgroups and mail too, and I've never had trouble with that.
