What if spyware attacked Macs?

PC Magazine's John Dvorak predicts a dim future for the Mac community should it be beset by spyware attacks the way Windows users currently are. He says the level and virulence of spyware has reached a crisis point for Windows users, and that national media is unaware and not covering the story because 'many mainstream media tech writers are Mac users.' (Shouldn't it be a sign that folks knowledgeable about tech are choosing the Mac?! Anywho...)

That seems like a simplistic analysis to me. It seems more likely that mainstream media isn't covering the spyware scourge because they get some significant amount of advertising dollars from Microsoft and may be 'discouraged' from covering the story. What do you think?

Is it likely the Mac will ever get hit with spyware? It seems to be that most Mac developers would have a computing philosophy that is 180 degrees away from coding such drivel. Any thoughts on this?
