I second this.  I get stuff directly from the info-mac archives, which
are currently a few weeks ahead of comp.binaries.mac, and I grab a copy
of everything and try it out.  I haven't seen any viruses from the
stuff I got.  In fact, I've never seen a virus from info-mac or sumex
(these folks all do a great job).  I have, on the other hand, been
infected from local bbses, usually due to overworked or complacent
sysops.
