Let's see if actually escaped that. What is malware purpose? If it's prank, a mild nuisance or just a bit of wasting your time I think it's an OK malware. But if it manages to siphon your finances then I'd say it's bad.

Now look at the history of Apple. Did they or did they not always delivered same hardware performance at double the price? I'd say you paid for malware, fully and on top of that you're also proud. Q.E.D.

This comment sounds like it's a 2002 criticism, too. I appreciate the historical accuracy.
