So dishpan, can you tell us how you actually got the virus? What site did you visit, what browser and version of the OS are you running, did you have java enabled?

As usual there's a lot of hot air around - and most of it seems to be from the pc crowd. I'm not an american so I'm not sure what the kool-aid reference is to but I have used macs for a long time and don't seem to get these problems that people scream and shout about every year or so. I am only running snow leopard as I find lion to be a pain in the a*** and I don't have software update turned on so I do not have the latest of whatever apple are offering in the way of security updates (I have a very slow broadband as I live on the edge of the world so I cannot be bothered downloading a constant stream of anything let alone security updates).

But please do tell us all how you let this trojan in, I'm sure that would do others a load of good.
