Nameless One

And what, pray tell, does any claim about Macs and viruses have to do with a trojan? Whatever OS you are using, if you put a program on it, run it and let it do what it wants (ignorance to the risk trumps any security measures) there is very little that any system can do to protect itself. To the extent that an OS can protect itself, Mac OS X and other *nix based systems seem to be better equiped than Windows, especially to many peoples beloved XP.
