Why not buy an apple mac?


Such a bogus statement. Like OSX exempts you from anything.

Well, it would "exempt" your computer from infection by this particular virus, as well as by any other computer virus that's ever existed. In general, OS X is intrinsically FAR more secure than Windows, which IMO is a massive kludge of an OS, full of dangerous flaws due to backward compatibility constraints and just plain poor design. There are NO known viruses to which OS X is vulnerable. One may appear some day, but it hasn't yet, and if it ever does we're sure to hear about it. OS X users don't even need anti-virus software. The record speaks for itself.
