It's not a virus.

Trojans are not the same as viruses.

Writing a true virus for OSX is exceptionally difficult and even if one can pull it off the probability that it will spread or even cause more than minor inconvenience is pretty high.

Trojans will work on any operating system because they take advantage of low hanging fruit.

It's like that time you were at the bar and your friend took home that really hot chick that was coming onto him but he failed to notice the adams apple before it was too late.
