[QUOTE="Fisico60, post: 1315653, member: 218115"] Hello, the other day, sitting at my Mac, a window popped up asking me to update Adobe Flash Player. I downloaded the file and run the installer, everything was looking like a REAL Flash updater, but..... Actually it was not a Flash update, it was a trojan horse infecting my Mac. It is called flashback.C and I found good info about it at [url=http://www.f-secure.com/v-descs/trojan-downloader_osx_flashback_c.shtml]This Page[/url] 1) IMPORTANT Do not update Adobe Flash because of a pop-up window IMPORTANT 2)Does anybody knows a simple disinfection procedure? What is reported in the above page is too technical for me. Thanks Fisico60 [/QUOTE]
