Good good.. I was just about to have you take a screen shot of your disk management screen for this very reason.

You Apple people think you're safer than the rest of us eh? 1/2 million systems hit with malware, most in US.

Ahhh... another "Macs get viruses too!" scare.

:-)... and conveniently the only source for this is a small virus program vendor who doesn't bother explaining how he calculated those numbers. What a strange coincidence that the source informing us of this is also trying to sell us a product to fix it...

Anyway.. This is a little deceiving...

To get infected with this, a user must download a 3rd party application, provide administrator credentials, and actually install the application. So that's technically not malware, that's considered downloading a program that you don't know, and manually installing a program you don't know even after an "Are you sure?" admin confirmation. Anyone dumb enough to do that, on any OS platform, shouldn't have admin credentials in the first place and deserves a lesson in computer responsibility.
[Reply]

I agree being an informed user would prevent this from installing on their system. Yet the number of the uninformed usually outweighs intelligent users.

My main point I was trying to get across is no OS is safe anymore. Apple users thought they were bullet proof because most malware/trojans are meant for the more popular Windows system.

I just hooked up avast on my mobile and it's caught a couple hidden in some apps I wanted to try.
[Reply]

Well... most malware/trojans are written for Windows. Because it's infinitely easier to execute malicious code that doesn't require any user input. "Drive by" infection is still not possible with OS X. Which does provide OS X with a much greater resistance to infection, and makes antivirus programs for Mac pretty much unnecessary. The last few versions of OS X actually have malware protection built in to the OS, which most people don't realize. And OS X is much better at sandboxing everything you run to prevent infection, memory leaks, permission issues, etc. I completely agree that no OS is bullet proof. But OS X should still be considered one of the safest options available.

I could write a program in about 5 minutes, that could completely destroy an OS X install. But it would also require the user to authenticate as admin to install, no different than the "malware" above. I don't think that makes me a hax0r though, and I wouldn't consider OS X to be vulnerable because the program I wrote could harm it if it were installed. Because that's just common sense. No virus or malware protection is going to protect against irresponsible stupidity like that.

Does this look right?
[Reply]

Looks clean minus the "PriceGong" and "funmoods" crap.

what's going on?
[Reply]

I agree with QuikSurfer, posting the log to hijackthis.de finds both what he mentioned questionable.
[Reply]

I'm having a hell of a time with something redirecting me on clicked links from google searches. I can't find it with anything.
[Reply]

Post a hijack this log so we can take a look...
[Reply]

typically when i get this i go into
control panel
internet options
advanced
and click the reset button. It usually lets it start working.

Lzen, I don't see anything out of the ordinary.

What are the symptoms? Did you run HiJack this and malwarebytes in Safe Mode? Have any of the scans picked up anything?
