Well it's obivious that programs that Microsoft has made, have viruses. Glad i don't use any.

And there is only one virus for OS X, the Leap-A (Also knows as Oompa-A).
It is a .jpeg file that asks for the admin password and it only spreads through iChat.
And it is only for OS X 10.4.3


And btw, Leap-A:

Defenition of a virus:
A computer virus is a computer program that can copy itself and infect a computer without permission or knowledge of the user. (wikipedia)

Known Mac os X security exploits:
As of 2006, there are relatively few security exploits[5] targeting Mac OS X (with a Unix-based file system); the known vulnerabilities fall under the classifications of worms and Trojans(wikipedia)

And there's only been a little bit of fear about a Worm in the past that runs on Mac Os X.

Do not worry.
