I downloaded "Flashback Checker" from Github.com Easy/quick/free download.

Result? "No Infection Found."

I cannot find anyone I know who picked up this nasty on their Mac...

My wife has been complaining that our Mac has been acting flakey for the last few months. I’ll use your link to check it, thanks.

I just checked our Mac, no virus.

It was suffering from random reboots for a while, seems to be better now.

I checked for it with Unix via Terminal (comes with OSX). It's not on my MBP...

~~~~~~~~~

To see if your Mac is infected:
In Terminal:

go to SHELL / New Command

paste in the bold line below

defaults read /Applications/Safari.app/Contents/Info LSEnvironment

-- and RUN.

You should get this error:

The domain/default pair of (/Applications/Safari.app/Contents/Info, LSEnvironment) does not exist

Then run:

defaults read ~/.MacOSX/environment DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES

You should get this error:

The domain/default pair of (/Users/YOURUSER/.MacOSX/environment, DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES) does not exist

If you do, you are clean of this variant!

~~~~~~~~~~~

(Can't hurt anything; those are read-only commands...)
