A Mac developer has posted a tool that detects a Flashback malware
infection on Apple's computers.
.
The tiny tool -- it's just a 38KB download -- was created by Juan Leon, a
software engineer at Garmin International, the Kansas-based company best
known for its GPS devices.
.
The tool spots the malware by automating a tedious process first described
by security firm F-Securelast month. F-Secure's procedure required
entering multiple commands in Terminal, the Mac OS X command line utility.
.
When Flashback Checker is run, it displays "No signs of infection were
found" or provides additional information if it does detect changes the
malware has made to the Mac.
.
Unlucky users can scrub Flashback from their machines using commercial
security software -- both French vendor Intego and Finland's F-Secure
offer free 30-day trials to their Mac antivirus products -- or use the
complex instructions posted by the latter here.
