I've been a passionate evangelist for Apple and the Macintosh throughout my working life, my first love was a Quadra 605 working with a small creative agency in the south of Norfolk UK in the mid 1990's, I later progressed to other roles in other Macintosh dominated industries, first as a Senior graphic designer at a small printing company and then a production manager at Guardian Media Group. 274 of the bots responsible for this are running from, wait for it, Cupertino! That takes some doing, and I’m sure that Apple won’t be at all pleased when they find out (they probably already have)! Still better safe than sorry.Įven though this is by no means funny, there is a strong irony attached to this. It is also worth noting that 50% of the infected computers are in the US, so your chances of actually having it if you live in Europe or elsewhere is fairly film. So that’s it! If you follow the above steps, you shouldn’t have any problems whatsoever with it, and it really is that easy to deal with.

Just have it installed and even if you unwittingly download the Flashback trojan, it will auto-delete itself after detecting ClamXAV. It’s completely free, and you don’t even have to use it to protect yourself.

The malware is programmed to not install when in detects certain pieces of software, one of them being ClamXAV, a great open source anti-virus which I highly recommend.

All you need is a specific piece of anti-virus software. If you do that, you will be completely safe to the Flashback malware.

A Java update has already been released which fixes the problem, which you can either get via Software Update or here (Snow Leopard) or here (Lion). One is for Snow Leopard and Lion users and the other is for users of older operating systems like Leopard and Tiger.

How To Protect Yourself From It / Prevent It Happening Again So it’s best to run through the whole thing again as shown on F-Secure, which should delete it from the system.

Now, if at any of the above stages something was different, chances are you’re infected.

If this appears, “ The domain/default pair of (/Users/joe/.MacOSX/environment, DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES) does not exist“, you don’t have it.

Now paste the following: defaults read ~/.MacOSX/environment DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES.

You should get this error message, “ The domain/default pair of (/Applications/Safari.app/Contents/Info, LSEnvironment) does not exist“.

Open Terminal and paste the following: defaults read /Applications/Safari.app/Contents/Info LSEnvironment.

Luckily there are very simple ways you can find out firstly if you have it, and then how to protect yourself from it. It exploits Java vulnerabilities in non-updated versions OS X to infect the Mac.

If they fix the two know issues above and I have no unexpected problems I plan to register it.The past few days have seen the emergence of one biggest Mac malware attacks in recent years in the form of the Flashback trojan. It is mostly located in it own folder, which I think shows good programing. Since there was no uninstall command for Avast! and I was not even going to try it in case I did not like it, but I found the removal instructions (easy) here. If you want to see something interesting check out how many files Virex (McAfee) and NAV scatter all over the hard disk of the computer. No such problem with Avast! Presently my G5 and my wife's Intel iMac are both running Avast! with no problems. With NAV I had to disable it to synchronize my Palm to my G5 Mac or the sync would hang when it got to Documents to Go. I tried the antiviral test site listed and it picks up all of the test viruses on the page. I uninstalled ClamXav and then tried Avast! Other than the fact that it won't start hidden or minimized (known issue), and always starts Apple mail (known issue), I like it so far. It seemed stable and I had no problems with it, but I did not find it very intuitive.

I am not comfortable writing scripts so I would not have been able to do all of the optional things it apparently can do. I tried ClamXav and I was never sure if it was working or not. I then removed every part if McAfee that I could find, then used their uninstaller script, then reinstalled Leopard in case I missed anything. I was going to take the iMac back for exchange but I removed the autostartup parts of McAfee and the iMac then seemed OK. The computer often shut itself off, hung, etc. On my wife's brand new dual core Intel iMac I installed McAfee. My last live update left it in a useless condition so I was considering other antivirals. Never any major issues with it but it is intrusive and whenever you have disk access you can see it taking significant CPU time.
