That Trojan has been around for over a year. I'm a little bemused as to why you posted this old news in the Apple Forum - surely it's a Windows issue?

Well I just seen the article as it appeared yesterday. A lot of mac users use windows too so I thought a warning might be useful.

I'd have thought it would be more usefully posted in the Windows Forums, but anyway.

Note that this is a Trojan, not a virus, so requires some kind of social engineering to activate. Such Trojans exist on all OSes but hopefully people on these forums are too clever to fall for these things.
