The answer is yes, of course. Apple computers can have computer worms in them.

And that's just the way trojan makers like it

If people paid as much attention to non-viral malware as they do to viral malware, I'm not sure what cybercrooks would do, but I'm reasonably sure they wouldn't be happy about it.
