I said it and said it so many times!
yes you are right.
“one” of the problems we as mac users face at the present is “packages” and the flaws involved with them.
one is “dmg” and “zip”.
a hidden script could be written to modify or destroy things in the users
PATH.
the so-called good thing is that the system would be fine, just the users account is effected (still not good)
make sure you at least enable “secure virtual memory” and write a script that deletes the stale cache in those funny places.
virus’s have it bad yes, but bad hackers no.
disable “webserver, screen sharing and SMB sharing” if your not using it.
turn off “open safe files after downloading” in safari.
these can and will be used against you.
that would at least keep the little kids out

I really enjoyed your post explaining why there are no viruses for Macs, and I have blogged about it today at TheMacLawyer.com. Keep up the good work.
