hg2007 Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 Only if it's written 'for' OSX, windows trojans can't affect osx in any way. There are mac trojans lurking about but you probably got more chance in winning the lottery than actually getting one. Saying that though I read somewhere an ilife torrent was infected recently but apart from that they are extremely rare on the mac platform.

booger_sniffer5000 Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 MacCinema is a common trojan for Macs, although you have to be looking at some random sites.
