Oh no! My Mac has a Windows Trojan!

In doing some further research on the Skype spam I thought I'd run the online test on my Mac.

Sure enough, it operates exactly the same way in Safari as it does on a Windows Box.

According to this wonderful piece of software, my iMac is infected with the following malware.

  • Backdoor:Win32/NT Root
  • Backdoor: Win32/Sivuxa
  • Trojan.Caijing
Funny enough, that's exactly what my Windows machine has according to this marvellous utility.

Darn it! I knew I should have never put my precious Mac on the network with those horrid, low class Windows boxes. Now it's caught their horrible disease.

The scary thing with this is some people will shell out the 19.95 this rubbish asks for to clean their Macs.
