Me, too. I've been using a Mac for years and years now.

I get hit with 5-30 of these trojan viruses a week. Often they present as
audio wave files that are actually an executable.

Being a Mac user, I'm completely immune.

My favorite is the one that looks like a bounced e-mail that you
obviously never sent. Your natural curiosity will lead you to open the
attachment, and then you're infected. My second favorite is the one that
looks like a message from Microsoft, claiming if you run this installer
you'll be immune from the virus (of course, the installer is the virus
itself).
