Hi,
Always when I read such articles, I can't help thinking that the antivirus
software publishers have the most interest in the creation of such viruses.
From the website: "You won’t be surprised to learn that Intego’s own
VirusBarrier X6 software can detect Flashback if it’s installed, and even
prevent it from installing in the first place." Doh. Also, this trojan only
installs itself if... when... again if... and only if....
According to that website, this is how you can check for the trojan:
function virusCheck
put "ls /Users/Shared/.*.so" into myShell
return not (shell(myShell) contains "No such file or directory")
end virusCheck
The function returns true if the trojan is on your machine.
