I'm sure that the Mac is less safe than the Apple ads would have us believe, but this article, which purports to discuss security issues on the Mac isn't doing it for me:

Just last week, security researchers at Sophos found an updated version of malware that targets Mac OS X users. The outbreak is a new variant of the Jahlav Trojan, which is disguised as an Active X video codec on a pornographic Website. Once downloaded, the Trojan will attempt to download other malicious files from the Web.

Why I would be downloading an ActiveX component for the Mac is beyond me :)
