[QUOTE="D3v1L80Y, post: 629284, member: 2960"] Sophos is a company that deals with security software. They want to sell that software. Therefore, they will tout how great their products are at defending your system from it. Leap-A is not, was not and never will be a virus. It was also never "in the wild". It was a proof of concept malware. [url]http://www.macobserver.com/article/2006/02/16.3.shtml[/url] So, they of course sensationalize things that really aren't that sensational. Every now and then a new Mac user digs up these types of articles, all of which are 2-3 years old. Nothing ever came from this "virus". There aren't any viruses for OS X and there hasn't been any in the 8 years since its original release. Could it be possible? Sure it could. Is it likely that it will happen? Not really. [/QUOTE]
