First REAL Virus on Macintosh

Filed under: techNews — admin @ 7:05 pm

Apparantly it’s true. There is a virus that can infect Apple’s Macintosh computers running OS X. The reports are that it disguises itself as a screenshot of OS 10.5 Leopard, due out eventually by Macintosh.

By downloading the compressed zip or tgz file, it embeds itself on the desktop and appears as if it’s a JPEG but when opened it’s not. The virus also seems to target any iChat contacts and attempts to send them the flu too.

Be careful out there, it’s a jungle.
