Thread Name: Tech: Mac Flashback virus (maybe)
Subject: RE: Tech: Mac Flashback virus (maybe)
Previous instructions for finding out whether your Mac is infected with Flashback have required complex command line steps, and checking for multiple variants in order to do a complete check, at least for those who don't have an AV that they trust completely installed.

There is now a simple program to check whether your Mac is infected with Flashback.

An Article at PC Advisor tells you a little about the program and where to get it.

Initial reports on Flashback came almost exclusively from a single source. The most recent report is that a second source has confirmed that approximately 2% of all Mac computers are infected, for a total of "more than 600,000" individual machines. One report is at another PCAdvisor article.
