[QUOTE="dtravis7, post: 1049501, member: 8287"] That is NOT a Virus. A Virus self installs and replicates. That is a trojan. There is one out there that I have seen so far. You have to actually run it and give it your admin password or it will do nothing. I took an older G4 Powermac and downloaded that so called Virus (no a Trojan) and gave it my password. All it did was do a DNS Redirect. I opened the terminal and removed it in 20 seconds. The machine was as good as new after that. [/QUOTE]
