Yep. I've gotten this virus on my computer. It stored itself on my system as bla.exe in the C:\ folder. IE shuts down immediately after infection, at least on my puter.

While most viruses are aimed at Windows machines, not all of them are. Macs are in no way "immune" to viruses, it's just a game of numbers. If you want to take down as many machines as possible with one code, you're going to aim for what the majority use and probably write a .vbs script and embed it in a file. Those wouldn't effect a Mac OS or Cisco proprietary OS, etc. Don't think there aren't viruses out there aimed at those systems too though.
