My questions is whether any Mac users have been affected by the current spate of "spam"/"trojan"/"keylogger" business going on on forums? Or is it targeting specifically windows users.
Thank you in advance for the info.

It is most likely to only affect Windows users (probably too much effort to keylog mac users when they are such a small number of the EVE player population), but you should still be careful regardless of your OS.

I understand that, of course I have to be careful, just wondering as to what exactly happening and if the nature of the threat transcends the OS and is equally dangerous to OS X users as well as Windows users. Also, Norton 11 for OS X sux terribly.

Norton just sucks, no matter what platform.

Edit: And yes, Norton is a no go. I use Spybot S&D and AVG and I've done fine (Once cliked 8 keylogger links in a row, it was a copy paste about druids and having different skins in animal form ) ________________________________________________

Most trojans and virus are designed with the Windows software in mind. They take advantage of how the Windows operating systems work to hide and be malicious. Good news is a Mac or any other Unix/Linux system should be safe from the "normal" virus and trojan attack.
Of course this doesn't mean Mac users should let their guard down. Make sure you are the official EVE Online website when entering any information sensitive information because if you are on a phising site it doesn't matter what operating system or architecture you are using. This advice applies to anything you do online!

I work with alot of computers and try to fix things for co workers only thing I ever noticed about macs and viruses is that macs and ipods seem to persitently be a 'carrier' for such malware designed for windows. Also people keep telling me the mac isnt immune to viruses just nobody bothers making any sort of virus due to thier low marketshare and ease of exploiting, but just like anything that becomes number 1, is bound to have the eyes of the world upon them so if mac ever gets more popular than windows expect mac to start getting slammed with all sorts of new fun stuff. Great thing about not being the most widely used is being able to hide security mistakes that some have taken advantage of without the notice of the general public.
