"What's more, in order to inflict any serious damage on an OS X machine, you've got to provide the Administrator password. It is impossible to run OS X as root. If a program's trying to screw with your settings and files, you're going to know about it! Likewise, unlike Windows, file permissions are properly implemented (it's Unix after all...)." Keep in mind that most people are stupid enough to download unknown files and run them with the Admin password... Linux is more protected than OS X not because of superior design, but because of superior users. Most people on this site are protected even if they use Windows... just like car theft, virus issues come to those that have their Windows down or their doors unlocked.
