New Trojan Infecting Macs

[253]

Thought I would mention this as I know there are a lot of Mac users - both new and old, and some may have missed the news previously.

There is a new version of the Flashback trojan infecting Macs that does not require the user to enterf any authorisation for it to load.
Also despite Apple releasing a patch to fix the original Trojan (albeit some 4 months late) the original is still infecting Macs.
So that would sugest Mac users are still not aware.

Below is a link to the ZDNet site and an article on it. If I am not allowed to show the link, apologies and can one of the Mods clean it up for me please.

Either disable Java or don't use Safari as your browser until you load the patch or disable Java.
One of the anti virus sites - whos name escapes at the moment, had a link to run a check on your Mac to see if it was infected.
