What is the significance of that? I know MAC's are supposed t be immune
pretty much to most viruses, but I understand that this So-Big virus
just places a program for spammers on the machine, useable later, thus
making every PC it infects a potential spamming machine. Mac's included.

Apple just released the hottest processor on the market - 64 bit as
opposed to all the 32's out there. Only problem for the moment is not
much software that can used the added performance. What is out there
works on the 64 but software designed for the 64 architecture isn't
common. It will come however.
