Mac Virus
A '''Mac Virus''' is a small bit of executable code that spreads when users open infected files or applications. There are two known viruses that affect [[Mac OS X]].<ref>One Mac virus is named "OSX.MachArena.A" (a standard virus), and the other is "OSX/Oomp-A" or "Leap.A," which combines the techniques of [[Trojan Horse]]s, viruses and worms.</ref> While both of these are found in the wild, neither are widespread. Although Mac viruses do not affect [[Windows (operating system)|Windows]] [[computer]]s, Mac [[computer]]s can act as an [[asymptomatic carrier]], inadvertently allowing users to pass infected files on to Windows users.
