    More than half a million Apple computers have been infected with the Flashback Trojan, according to a Russian anti-virus firm.

    An investigation by Dr Web suggests that about 600,000 Macs have installed the malware - potentially allowing them to be hijacked and used as a "botnet".

    I have end users at work telling me all the time we should get Macs because they don't get infected. You mean it's not true?
