MAC users - Virus Alert

[GWguy]

Just a heads up, still insignificant in the big scheme of things.

But blogs are buzzing this week about what two Symantec researchers have called the first harmful computer program to strike specifically at Mac.

This Trojan horse program, dubbed the "iBotnet," has infected only a few thousand Mac machines, but it represents a step in the evolution of malicious computer software, Haley said.

Mac users at large, however, should not be alarmed by the incident, experts said. The program infects only computers whose users downloaded pirated versions of the Mac software iWork.

This is from a pirated copy of iWork, so the lesson is:

1) Don't visit questionable sites since all of the viruses for Macs required visiting a compromised site
2) Don't pirate software (or know your source well, not that I know anything about that stuff )



Anyway OS X still
