Yep, and they can get this malware without even entering the admin password! I swore there were macbots on here before saying it’s impossible to install any malware without entering the admin password.

So obviously it’s easy to trick a macbot into installing malware since they think OSX will prompt them for a password before they screw it up. Guess they were wrong.

How long until they apologize for their misinformation?

These Macheads remind me of the time Freepers kept bragging about how “perfect’ Malwarebytes is..

Guess what? IT’S NOT. I used to work for a well-known AV company in Los Angeles and I witnessed a TLD4 rootkit render it useless...yes, the PRO PAID VERSION of Malwarebytes.

What happens if a Mac user is logged in as a Standard User, rather than an admin? I would think that there’s no way it would install without prompting the user to enter the admin user name and password.
