First of all that's a 5-year old press release. Secondly that's 
referring to OS8.6, a code base that is no longer in use. The current 
OSX (say "OS Ten") is based on FreeBSD, one of the most secure forms of 
UNIX out there which Apple makes more secure by releasing small updates 
monthly.

Found by a Google search: "At the moment there are NO OSX viruses, 
except the ones that live in Microsoft Word and Excel macros, which are 
the only ones that can be spread between Macs".

Of course there are no Mac viruses. The 14 mac's still in use by actual
programmers are all owned by tree-hugging, beret wearing, NPR listening,
mocha sipping, burned-out Jerry Garcia worshipers. None of whom have
enough metal capacity left to declare a variable, much less remember
it's scope.
