On seeing the thread title, I did wonder if a batch of faulty condoms had been sold. Thank God it's only a computer virus.......

Thanks for the warning. However, I can't agree with your advice to "SPREAD THE WORD TO EVERYONE ON YOUR EMAIL LIST" since this itself can produce a storm of emails.

We have quite a pile of unfixable macs lying around the place now - but I have to conceed they do look nice. The owners gave up a bought cheap windows pc's. Yes the mac is OK but its not by any stretch of the imagination a zero defect machine.

You reap what you sow. That Mac trojan only comes packaged up in pirated versions of software such as Photoshop CS4. Anyone who downloads that sort of stuff deserves what they get.
