[QUOTE="SparkyMac, post: 1596230, member: 329439"] What I can say is the virus, although low risk, was quite funny to see in action. In short, it erased removable devices i.e. USB pen drives when inserted. However, it was detected simply because the virus would not work on a user who had no admin rights. A message would ask for the user's password. On an admin's account, the virus would run an AppleScript from /Library that would erase the pen drive with a exFAT partition.
