This is the same Dr. Web that a couple of years ago reported a 680,000 Macbot determined by the number of the UUIDs they claimed had connected into a "Honeypot intercept server." But no one has ever found a Mac member of that Dr. Web reported Botnet in the wild. The botnet ran on Java, which is platform agnostic, but Dr. Web only claim OSX was infected, and the modality required visiting an obscure Russian role play game character creation website to get infected, yet 95% of the claimed infections were in the US. Say what? The UUIDs they had listed in the Mac Botnet included UUIDs assigned to Apple for Macs that never had Java installed, had not yet been sold, or not yet even manufactured! The release of that Macbot claim coincided with the Release of Dr. Web's announcement of their entering the Mac antivirus market for business.
We are now entering the three week FUD SEASON before the October 21st Apple event where it is expected that Apple will announce new Macs. . . and Dr. Web is still pushing its business AV software. I remain VERY suspicious. — PING!
