Incidentally, this is not just a Apple Mac Trojan attack, it also downloads a Windows PC Trojan if that is your OS... It is just another version of the CODEC TROJAN that's been around for a long time.

Well, I’m not trying to get anyone to download it, but it is easily available on “The Pirate Bay” BitTorrent site... (a P2P client piece of software required, which is free).

And you won’t find any trojans or viruses there, because users tag that right away and it’s deleted from the site. If something has been up for any longer than a day, you’ll get comment on the “torrents” that say there is a problem.

While I know in some parts of the Internet that viruses and trojans exists for various things, I suspect that many of these types of warnings are designed to keep some users *away from* some files and stuff like that... LOL...

I only heard about the file yesterday, from some other thread on Free Republic, but apparently this file has been out on the Internet for months.

Yeah, but PC attacks are yawners, while Mac attacks are Big News!!!

Except that of course this is a USER ATTACK:

"You wish to see porn. Please download this software to view the porn."
Well, d-uh...

> It is just another version of the CODEC TROJAN that's been around for a long time.

And at this rate will remain around for a long time...
