All is well in Apple Land

One of the good things about being an Apple Mac user, apart from that everything works as it should and looks good too, is the absence of viruses and similar nasties. There are Mac viruses out there, especially for the older versions of the Mac operation system, and until this morning I had never heard of a virus for Mac OS X. For a second I was worried.
The news was about the worm Renepo, AKA Opener, which is a script that specifically targets Mac OS X. If installed on a Mac computer, the worm can do a lot of damage and open the computer up for outside attacks and such. The virus is not out in "real life", but only being analysed by anti-virus software companies. So, big deal.
