See that’s what I’m talking about. You assert not a single FR mac user was impacted, yet you did KNOW in fact at least one may have been and suspected he was. You can see his response were he thinks he was infected in response to my post.

It’s crap like that why you are considered a macbot and never willing to accept any negative truth about apple. Next you’ll downplay this by saying only 1 FR user may have been impacted but we aren’t sure. Also how many FR macbots may have actually been impacted, but would never ever admit it because then they’d have to eat too much crow?

4Q, you can take heart in this:

If in fact there are over half a million infected Mac users out there, only a tiny percentage would be on FR anyway.

You really ought to be posting like a madman on all the OTHER forums, especially the Mac-centric ones, trying to sniff out the infected Mac users. Think of all the good you would be doing, informing them of their dangerous habits and showing them the light of good security practices.

I'm only being slightly tongue-in-cheek here. Seriously, you would find a lot more folks with problems elsewhere that you could help. FReepers tend to be pretty cautious by nature. By and large...

Prove he has been infected, for-q-clinton. The symptoms he was complaining of are symptoms that JAVA itself can cause on a Mac. The cure for the Trojan also disables JAVA... which magically causes those symptoms to suddenly stop.

I am not seeing ANYONE on here who has tested their Macs and said "I am infected!" I am not seeing it on other forums either. What Null and Void presented was anecdotal, not evidentiary. It may be that he WAS infected. I simply don't know, nor do you, nor does he. Had he actually tested his Mac and it came up positive, then we would know. But the "cure" removes things that cause those very symptoms on their own and are just exacerbated by the Flashback trojan using them more often!
