that can't be a virus.
just a piece of Unix script executed in Terminal, right?
so any virusdetection won't work at all.

It's not as rare as you all think.
Everytime a mac user gloats about not "having to use" anti-virus software I marvel at their stupidity.

You'll be stung one day.
It's this attitude that makes the world go round for hackers.
Oh yeah.
PC and Mac, no virus, ever.

nah mate, hackers like the fact that they have all these programs to get around. otherwise it wouldnt be much fun would it.

i remember the mac boot virus, back in 1998 or something.
- krust0
yeah i think the dudes at apple 'stupidly' said 'u cannot infect a mac'.
hence every hacker everywhere had a field day trying to figure one out.
