I must admit, I like the idea of a mac for my next office PC, all it gets used for is media, the odd bit of excel and internet.

Lies all lies! :fist:

It is a simple Trojan Horse, not a virus: it requires manual user interaction to launch the executable. See the dissection http://www.ambrosiasw.com/forums/ind...owtopic=102379
