[sdiy] OT: Re: Anyone getting tired of Klez-H ???

[groovyshaman at snet.net]

One somewhat obvious gotcha for Mac users (from the Symantec web site):

"If you have software such as Virtual PC, SoftWindows or SoftPC, which emulate
a Windows environment on your Macintosh, your virtual Windows operating system
(OS) can become infected with PC viruses such as Klez. To protect this type of
environment, you must have virus protection installed in your virtual Windows
OS, such as Norton AntiVirus for Windows."

100% unadulterated Mac's are in the clear. :)
