New Mac Trojan Horse Virus
One of the most notable benefits of an Apple computer is its ability to avoid the millions of viruses that Microsoft computers fall prey to. Many college students and professionals pick Macs for just this reason. Now, a new trojan horse virus has recently been discovered by Apple that masquerades as an Adobe Flash Player update. One word of advice is to never confirm an update from a popup window, but to always go to the website and download it there. I have a macbook pro, and have already been bombarded by this popup asking me to update to the newest version of flash player. Believe me when I tell you, it looks exactly like Adobe Flash Player. Do not be fooled! This is the sneaky exterior of a Trojan Horse virus. The virus has already infected 600,000 MacBooks worldwide and many fear that the worst is yet to come. In fact mac security may be forever changing, due to the progressiveness of virus creators.  They are slowly moving on from attacking Microsoft computers and beginning to learn how to target Apple computers. It will be interesting to see how Apple computer sales are affected by this change, unless the company is able to step it up and fight this breach in security head on.
