According to your link:

Installation

On execution, the malware checks if the following path exists in the system:

  • /Library/Little Snitch
  • /Developer/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/MacOS/Xcode
  • /Applications/VirusBarrier X6.app
  • /Applications/iAntiVirus/iAntiVirus.app
  • /Applications/avast!.app
  • /Applications/ClamXav.app
  • /Applications/HTTPScoop.app
  • /Applications/Packet Peeper.app

If any of these are found, the malware will skip the rest of its routine and proceed to delete itself.

So, it would appear the malware regards the letter X in Xcode the way the devil regards crossed forearms? That's good to know, LOL!
