Of all the Mac viruses, worms, malware, etc. that have been distributed, how many of them came in the form of a dmg that the user opened and installed? I would think most of the things that "may damage your computer" would come in the form of vulnerability exploits and other stuff that the user will never see or get a chance to block.

Erm, in recent years, all of them? I can't think of any exploits in the wild that have been anything other than a trojan.
