If you've been following my advice, you've got nothing to worry about as this Trojan requires the installation of MacKeeper to infect your Mac. MacKeeper turns off your Mac's own built in anti-Trojan protections as well as making your Mac susceptible to this Trojan, so it leaves you totally vulnerable to being infected by this Trojan, which your OS X, or MacOS would identify and warn you about before allowing you to install it, if you were industrially stupid enough to then go ahead and ignore the warnings and do it.

Of course, if you are running MacKeeper on your Mac after all the warning's I've been posting on FreeRepublic about that piece of crapware, maybe you just might be industrially strength stupid and deserve what you get. I hope not. . . maybe you were just not paying attention and did not get the word. . . I'll go with that as a reason.

SIGH! Another piece of malware to lay at the feet of those oh-so-wonderful people who brought us that piece of crapware "MacKeeper!" This time a Trojan from Russia that hides in an enticing PDF about the Russian Space program. You don't have to worry about getting infected with this Trojan unless you are running MacKeeper (you aren't THAT STUPID, ARE YOU?) so if you aren't, don't worry. Just ignore any PDF that promises great photos and data about the Russian Space program! — PING!

ONCE MORE WITH FEELING!

Jack Hammer is old enough to remember when Trojans prevented infection.
