Thread Name: Tech: Mac Flashback virus (maybe)
Subject: Tech: Mac Flashback virus (maybe)
Huffington Post says that Ars Technica says that the Mac Flashback trojan virus is about again and has affected 600,000 laptops, and that Apple has issued a Java update as of April 3 that we all should load ASAP.

NPR says, "maybe, maybe not".

Huffington has an F-Secure link that tells you how to check if you're infected, NPR sends you to Gizmodo.

FWIW.
