WSJ.com - UPDATE: First Virus For Apple Mac OS X System Found

WSJ.com - UPDATE: First Virus For Apple Mac OS X System Found: "'Leap-A is not a virus, it is malicious software that requires a user to download the application and execute the resulting file,' said an Apple spokesperson.
'Apple always advises Macintosh users to only accept files from vendors and Web sites that they know and trust,' said the spokesperson. 'We have a guide to safely handling files received from the Internet.'"

Yeah, yeah -- it'd only be considered a virus, by the mainstream press, if it attacked a Microsoft platform...
