I'm almost certain java drive-bys don't affect Mac OS.( I have a mac myself)

Yeah I didn't think Macs could be affected by those types of viruses either

Anyways, this post is in the wrong section mate. I will link you to the Help & Technical Support forum where you are more likely to get a response by somebody who knows their OS's and has more computer knowledge.

Java drive-by and RATs don't work on Macs.

Reformat your OS no OS is immune to getting a virus no matter what some ad campaign may try to tell you

Java drive-bys don't exist anymore, if your Java is updated it doesn't work.

Really? Because Java drive-bys are infected usually with RAT's/keyloggers/etc. All of those programs are .exe, go try to run a .exe on a mac and tell me how that works buddy.

There are though, a few mac viruses, which I doubt anyone who visits this forum will ever get, b/c such a small amount+ their very rare to stumble upon.
