Not I. I've been on a Mac, connected to the Internet, via a very
large corporate network for many many years. 8+ at CNN and more at
other sites. The last virus problems I had was Word macro virus on
Microsoft Word back in the '97. After we stopped using word as a
regular application it's not been a problem since.
There is the occasional worm threat, but that's a unix thing in
general. Windows is very open to virus attack.
