Wasn't there some email attachment wrapped up in an application dmg or
something similar a year ago ?  Granted it took the user several steps in
order to execute it, but apparently many ppl did ?  Including entering the
root keychain pass ?

Multiple anti-virus things too.  Which means you'll end up spending up to
$100-$120 a year as just 'regular maintaince' on a mac.  Granted, similar
things are suggested on a PC as well... but... yeesh.  I should eventually
grab a personal edition of nod32 i suppose.
