Throwback to the 80's...I worked as a tech in the campus computer store and we had tremendous (almost daily) issues with viruses and worms with the Mac's and UNIX machines. Almost zero with the PC's. This was clearly due in part to relatively low installed-base of PC's in the university environment, and lack of ubiquitous networking.

Over the last 20 years I have worked with machines of all flavors continuously and have had an actual virus infection (on an XP laptop) exactly once. A lot of it is hype and common sense precautions go a long way.
