If the trojan detects ClamXAV installed it does not install

and further, if you have the latest Java updates installed (from Apple update) then it has no way to attack your system

Take a look here.

For the future, you'll want a more descriptive title than your user name. It helps draw people into your question which is a win-win for everyone.
