Spyware and keystroke loggers in Mac?

Spyware and keystroke loggers have often been thought of as a Windows only problem, but Nicholas Raba, CEO of SecureMac.com and co-author of Maximum Security says many Apple Macintosh users may have a false sense of security. SecureMac has released MacScan which detects and removes Macintosh spyware, remote administration utilities and keystroke loggers. In a telephone interview, Raba talked to us about current and future Macintosh spyware and virus threats.

Another proof of vulnerabilities in Mac again? Well well… I like this particular paragraph:
People who are frustrated with computer viruses and spyware are constantly told to buy a Macintosh, but Raba told us that this just gives them a false sense of security. “Sure it may be one of the more secure operating systems, but you can’t go with the attitude that there are no viruses for the Mac,” says Raba. He adds that proof of concept virus code is already running around the Internet and that a major Mac virus is inevitable. “Anyone with programming skills could make something, the majority don’t bother because they don’t want to go to jail,” says Raba.

All I can say is that there is no OS which is 100% not susceptible to any attacks. I just hate the fact that everyone who are using Mac claimed that they are completely safe, when it’s obvious that they are not. Even worse, when Windows users complained about getting viruses and all that, Mac supporters will just say, “Hey, throw away that PC and buy a Mac”.
Think different?
