Macs do have an autorun feature, which does pose a security risk. To turn off autorun for CDs and DVDs:

1. Open System Preferences
2. Select CDs & DVDs
3. Using the drop-down menus for each action -- for example, WHen you insert a music CD -- select either Ignore or Ask what to do.

As Macs become more and more popular (now about 7% of the total PC market) malware writers will target Macs with the same enthusiasm that they've applied to the Windows platform. So, if you use a Mac, that doesn't mean you are invulnerable.
