<p style="clear: both">Their <a href="http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2009/03/27/60minutes/main4897053.shtml" target="_blank">lead story</a> was regarding internet viruses, particularly the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conficker" target="_blank">Conficker</a> virus that is supposedly just sitting dormant on many, many hosts waiting to be triggered.</p>
<p style="clear: both">There are rumors that this virus is going to be <a href="http://news.cnet.com/faq-conficker-time-bomb-ticks-but-dont-expect-boom/" target="_blank">triggered on April 1st</a> &#8212; of course, April Fool&#8217;s Day. Whether that happens or not remains to be seen. But it got me thinking&#8230;&#8230;</p>
<p style="clear: both"><strong><em>Should Mac users be concerned? </em></strong></p>
<p style="clear: both">From what <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lesley_Stahl" target="_blank">Leslie Stahl</a> was reporting on 60 minutes last night, all internet users should be freaking out about this virus. Maybe that is the case. I don&#8217;t know, really. I thought this was primarily a Windows virus. But a Symantec VP in the 60 minutes piece thinks that Norton will be able to help all users.</p>
<p style="clear: both">So, are you Mac users running out and buying <a href="http://www.symantec.com/norton/macintosh/antivirus" target="_blank">Norton AntiVirus for the Mac</a>? Do you still think that Mac users don&#8217;t need to be worried about anti-virus software?</p>
<p style="clear: both">I have a feeling I know where most people fall on this debate <img src='http://joelmarcey.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
