And the Macs don't get viruses thing is utter bullshite.
Yep, found Malware just the other day. Some sort of extension that had added itself to Safari. It would attach a handful of URL's to every outgoing email message that was posted to an Exchange OWA server using Safari. Took a while to figure out why every email this guy sent to users behind a Barracuda Spam Firewall would be rejected. The X-Barracuda headers pointed to URLs for titty sites and gambling sites that the user had no idea was there. Im not certain how this was an exploit and what the payload would really be, but it definitely caused all of his Exchange usage to grind to a halt.

Safari is the most insecure browser out there.

That's an odd one indeed. Must be either someone who's bored, sites that specifically generate revenue based on hits/searches regardless of whether the traffic viewed the banners/ads, or someone trying to up some sort of hits/search-type traffic number discretely for some other sort of marketing gain. I guess the old motto holds true: "you really can't trust the guy who runs a titty site."
That motto is approximately 15 seconds old.
