Of course if you haven't installed Intego's anti-virus OSX itself will warn you that you are download, installing, and attempting to run a Trojan horse program! But Intego's anti-virus program TURNS OFF that built in protection so that IT can do that job instead! WHOOPEE!

What kind of idiot just blindly gives administrator permission to install any and all software downloaded from the ‘net, even that which you did not request or intentionally download?

This can’t be true! Macs never get viruses. The Mac users here continually tell us this. < /sarc>

If a person allows this crap to install on their computer they should be banned from the internet forever, lol!!! The USER must do some really dumb things to get this crap installed on their machine, sheesh.

If the user continues through the installation process, and enters an administrator’s password, the software will be installed.

That's the difference between Mac and Windows.

OK, had this pop up just now, from something I clicked on. There were warning bells and whistles, so I ran my virus software (no, I didn’t click on anything else, yes I’m THAT paranoid after having PCs). It said I wasn’t infected with anything. I just closed the windows I was in, and shut down the Defender window (didn’t install it of course).
My question, do I need to look for this anywhere on my system and throw it away? Is it somewhere in my computer waiting to be installed? Now I’m worried! Drat, I hate these people....
