Subject: Trojan Horse for Mac OS X

The last Trojan hose, and or anything virus related for that matter, 
was 3 years ago. A email was circulated around that contained a Apple 
script. The email said "Click here for your favorite Simpson's 
episode." Needless to say quite a few people did, and it erased their 
hard drives. This technique wouldn't work now because Mail.app, and 
probably all modern mail client. Will not let you execute code from 
within the mail client.
This current Trojan horse is benine and is more a proof of concept then 
anything.

Cheers,
Tom
