One Step To Safer Computing
By Jacob Loeb

As Mac users, we are greatly protected from some of the perils of the online world. To date, OS X has not suffered from any major Trojan, worm, Spyware, or virus.

The bottom line is, to stay protected in the future, stop working from your Administrator account.
