shit..i got a computer problem

my question on the restore though is how far do you know how to go back? don't some nasties lie dormant for a while first.

System restore is useless if you get infected in my opinion. It is better used to remove misbehaving drivers or failed updates. On my clients' machines after I remove the trojan and am sure the machine is clean I delete all previous restore points (do this by turning off system restore and rebooting) and then create a new restore point for the now uninfected machine after turning system restore back on.

Until you get one of the new Mac trojans. Unlike Windows there are no removal tools for Macs. You have to wait on Apple to correct it, if they ever acknowledge it. The first major trojan for Mac's that hit in April came through the Safari browser, Apple denied for a week until they were confronted with the evidence by one of the major PC publications. While PC malware is still more prevalent Mac malware is rapidly becoming more and more common.

Mac Defender?

that was pretty meh

interesting to see something pop up for the mac though

There is some good news though. The Russian authorities took down the site pushing Mac Defender and it's Windows equivalents. Now if they'll just do anything to them is another story. However, you can bet they have that code on rogue sites for sale and somebody else will pick it up and start modifying it to do even more...

KT, I sent you some instructions. Ghost, McAfee is one of the poorest at keeping systems clean, at least it's personal version, just thought you might like to know.

I like Unity, interested to see what the next version brings, beta out soon. But even Linux has security issues, just not attacked yet. But the method that was used to infect Macs this past spring would be essentially the same methods to attack Linux.
