but for a starter;
Apple ‘Crisis’ Virus For Mac OS X Detected By Intego
lol, not only is this not a virus, it doesn’t even exist except as a marketing tool for an anti-virus company. “we’ve discovered this virus, which you can’t catch anywhere, but you’d better buy our software just in case”. nice try though!
Intego found samples of this malware on the VirusTotal website, a site used by security companies to share malware samples. This threat has not yet been found in the wild, and so far there is no indication that this Trojan has infected users so right now the threat is considered to be a low risk. Nonetheless, Intego VirusBarrier X6 detects and removes this malware using today’s definitions.
IMO the only essential security software for OSX is Little Snitch, which I would recommend to all Mac users
