Mac Malware Bundled with Pirated iWork 09 and Photoshop CS4

LOL! …OK, I’m sorry…but I hope I stop hearing “the best antivirus is a Mac” talk. OSX is getting pretty popular these days and malware distributors are finally taking notice.

Pirated copies iWork 09 and Photoshop CS4 are being bundled all sorts of malware…from unix rootkits (have fun removing one of those) to rogue mac antivirus (imunizator). iWork 09 and Photoshop CS4 are being distributed via P2P mac networks as well as bit torrent hubs.

EDIT – 6:24 PM – A Rep from PC Tools just informed me that they have an antivirus (anti-malware) solution for Mac called iAntiVirus.

The iAntiVirus™ database has been designed from the ground up to detect and remove Mac specific threats. This enables a high level of protection whilst keeping memory footprint and resource usage at a minimum. The iAntiVirus™ database is not cluttered with signatures for Windows specific threats which your Mac is immune against.
