"...attackers appear to have exploited a loophole in Java software..." .Technically speaking,this is not a problem with the Mac platform but with Java software. On that contrary,most viruses that affect Windows are due to flaws in the O.S itself and not because of third-party software such as Java.

Hmmm, so if an OS is built in C++, its an issue with C++ and not the OS? Your argument is void. An OS comprises of many languages, so before you start Googling randomly, Google firt the "Recipes of an OS" On Sat, Apr 7, 2012 at 9:29 PM, Moses Muya <mouzmuyer@gmail.com> wrote:

No need to turn emotional over a technical matter - of course an O.S is made up of many languages and any techie can tell you that! All I'm saying is, this is a security hole in a THIRD PARTY SOFTWARE AND ORACLE HAS FIXED IT as opposed to a PROBLEM THAT WOULD NESSESITATE SOME CHANGES IN THE CORE MAC OSX. Does that make it any clearer for you? #ImOut On 8 April 2012 10:32, Paul Kevin <paultitude@gmail.com> wrote:
