Herb,
It's an Apple user's joke. They don't realize these viruses are
already on their computers because nobody takes the time to write
software to prevent them.
Every time I hop onto somebody else's WiFi network it's always an Apple
system. I can go right into their files and do anything I want with
them, without even trying anything fancy.
They are better off not knowing. Most of the files are boring.
