This is another repackaging of an already existing trojan horse program, the OS X RSPlugin, fake Codex for OS X.
The real threat here is that it is on what appears to be a very professional, commercial web-page that invites you to download the Trojan as a HDTV viewer. The web-site is platform agnostic and will offer either the OS X trojan or a Windows Trojan for those who visit the site using a Windows computer. Be warned. It is a WELL DESIGNED SOCIAL ENGINEERING TRAP.

Malicious Website offers both Mac and Windows Trojan horse applications disguised as very impressive HDTV viewer. PING!

This is impossible because everyone knows MACs are virus proof.

Can someone please tell me the difference between a virus and a trojan horse, because I may know my tech stuff, but I am not perfect. Thanks.

Has the threat of computer attacks with Mac has gone up because the newer Macs are intel-based? Thanks for the response.

Just bought my kid a Mac. Are there any anti-virus/spyware/malware programs out there that I should load to keep the new Mac safe?
Thanks in advance for any replies.
