OSX Trojan

Well here comes the start of a new era

The Trojan parks itself in your /System/Library/StartupItems folder with read-write-execute root privileges—from there it can phone home to a remote server and install additional nasties throughout your system. Right now, the only true fix is a full format and re-install, since its residual pieces can be spread far and wide. You can spot if your particular warez iWork is infected by searching for the iWorkServices.pkg inside the installer.

lol why download this, when all you have to do is download the trial from Apple, and download the 583 byte text file containing the serials >.>

Re: OSX Trojan

It also requires you to put in your admin password to install it after downloading an illegal copy of software.

Re: OSX Trojan

if people are retarded enough to download a program off the internet
run it
AND
give the file FULL RIGHTS to your machine..

then they deserve it.

On the other hand, windows users are infected just by looking at something the wrong way, because their systems are always admin, and people are retarded and will downloaded anything off P2P.
