Ummm... Ok... That's enough... Stop buying macs...

Thats old news... First, you have to elect to download it. Then you have to elect to install it. Then, if you're still going along with it, you have to type in your password a few times. And after all of that, all it does is sets your DNS to different server that sends you to scam sites.

as we've said before, the biggest security problem for any computer, regardless of the OS running on it, is the idiot sitting at the keyboard. At least with OSX, the trojan isn't able to download itself, run itself, and install itself without user interaction. Already a 10 fold improvement over windows.

Very true, but for the user that pays attention to proper computing procedures and does not allways run as admin... The people that fall for this are the same ones that fall for the various phishing schemes. A Mac user that thinks his machine is maleware proof could easly blindly type in his root password, and keep in mind that this may well be just the start.
