From MacFixIt

"this "trojan" is simply an AppleScript application with a custom installer icon. When the application is launched, it uses AppleScript's ability to execute Unix shell commands in order to run a command that deletes the user's home folder. Since the user is the owner of his/her home directory, no authentication is needed."

Debatable but ok, lets say there was 1 Trojan that got out on 1 p2p network and hid itself in Warez.

Now let's take a look at Windows.

aayyeeaaa yaaaii..

Thanks captain obvious... no one here has ever, including me, stated there aren't any viruses for Windows.

Thanks for the copy and paste of the description, yes I read it before I posted... sounds similar to an .exe, .scr, .pif you can get via email or P2P on a Windows pc that will infect the machine....

You're the one who made the statement "Actually OS X has had no viruses or Trojans released into the wild. " yet given an example negating your statement you quickly flash Windows viruses! lol.

If I'm wrong, please tell me.

I'm more open minded than you have me shackled to the wall as.
