The usual alarmist nonsense

Once again, there’s allegedly another “virus” going around that proves Mac OS X isn’t secure and it’s just as flawed as Windows. 
 
For my fellow Mac users, let me explain and assure you what it really is. Firstly, it’s not a virus, it’s more along the lines of a Trojan horse because it claims to be one thing yet is another. Secondly, it claims to be screen shots of the next version of Mac OS but it needs your admin name and password to show you. If you enter your name and password to look at a picture, you’re a chump. Lastly, people should always be careful of where they’re downloading from. Maybe that’s a tad arrogant; sorry, it’s not meant to be. My point is that the Internet is filled with people making this bigger than it really is.

    I’m a PC user, so this isn’t necassarily for me, but I have been the victim of not just one, but two Trojan virus’. That’s what I get for letting other people use my laptop. Imagine building up a music collection, 20 gigs, only to have it all disappear in the blink of an eye. My heart still hasn’t recovered. Watch yourself, and don’t just click yess to every dialouge box that pops up. Remember read things very carefully.
