Let me see, I have suffered at least a dozen virus attacks during my Windows years, and I have been subject to half as many browser hijacks due to clueless family members (my self included) getting "Free smileys" and that sort of crap. The last infection I had was especially nasty and took me most of a sunday to clean up.
I have felt it partner. And I am not happy about it.
But on Mac OS X there are rarely hijacks. And nothing installs itself without asking for the admin password. Which means not very many trojans stand a chance of ever installing.
