Run through the commands from the F-secure article and you will be fine. Update the system as suggested and this will be fine. I havent checked my MBP yet, but I have my MacMini and it was a breeze. Of course, it wasnt infected (I dont browse the internet on that machine) as it is only a media server. I will be checking my MBP when I get home.

Threat Description: Trojan-Downloader:OSX/Flashback.I
