Latest OS X vulnerability TPWN and what you need to know about it. . . although this article doesn't mention it, generally most OS X Mac users are safe from this vulnerability as it currently requires you to have XTools or Developer tools installed to work, but someone may find another vector for it to work. It still would be a TROJAN Horse, so watch those downloads and pay attention to the GateKeeper alerts. They are there to protect your system and you. — PING!

For what it's worth, ClamAV is a free malware scanner for MAC (and Linux) software.

It can provide a measure of protection when downloading software from sites you're not familiar with.

But as always, be careful when downloading from untrusted sites!
