[Macpartners] Flashback trojan reportedly controls half a million Macs and counting

[John-Elmer Canfield]

Simply paste these two commands into a Terminal window. If they both return messages saying the entries don't exist, then you're fine:

  defaults read /Applications/Safari.app/Contents/Info LSEnvironment
  defaults read ~/.MacOSX/environment DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES

Besides that, just make sure to run Software Update. 


Thanks,

John-Elmer
