Well of course they changed the message. However it is quite true that for years and years, since osx, there has been no need to use any kind of protection. With the increasing use of mac, it was inevitable that there would be something on the horizon. I dont know why they make such a fuss. That was ONE piece of malware, whilst PC still has hundreds of thousands... the lesson? Use one of the free antivirus/antimalware things and make sure you have software update check daily, because Apple is providing fixes via update, just like Windows does, to patch security holes. (I'm using Avast as per your suggestion in another thread, Herman, its been updated to work with Mountain Lion so its all good. sophos is good, but I now prefer Avast to that, and ClamXAV)
