[QUOTE="Murlyn, post: 27667, member: 184"] Yeah it's very real, but as slashdot says, it's just a concept trojan and hasnt actually been created yet, but like rman said, it's just a matter of time. The other bad thing is exactly like rman said Intego just wanted to be the first to find one for the Mac and get the credit for it. It's kind of a mess in my opinion.. and of course it's going to get a lot of coverage.. go Intego! sheesh.. everyone knows that you go to the creator first and allow them time to get a patch out before announcing.. or if it takes too long then you can announce to get the ball rolling. Just real sad. We'll see how this plays out. It's just like software sites.. if they sell Mac software.. they are probably ligit.. if they don't be warned that they might be a scam... the percentage of Mac users are just more trustworthy and if this type of virus does get out.. it's, again percentage wise.. will not be from a mac user. Apple will have a fix soon. no doubts about it :) [/QUOTE]
