Guys please take of the news below:-

 

http://news.cnet.com/8301-1009_3-57409619-83/more-than-600000-macs-infected-with-flashback-botnet/?tag=txt;title

 

Please go thru all the steps which I mentioned in my previous postings. That will help you.

 

Another way to fool the virus is to run Linux on a virtual machine.

 

If it got infected in the virtual machine you can just delete it.

 

Firstly run patches for the Apple Security Updates, Disable all your Java and Flash in any browser you run.

 

Java and Adobe Flash are too vulnerable in security!!!

 

Use No script add on.

 

Check all the steps which F-Secure recommended.

 

Do check the F-Secure's famous weblogs. It's very informative!!!

    Well all I can say Officially ... that MAC have viruses!!! (Is just that Apple did not say that Apple do have viruses!)

     

     

    I'm no a programmer or a decoder.

     

    -Mac did not get a Windows viruses but do get Mac viruses! (Is not a MYTH anymore guys.The Reality is there for you to see.)
