That's not to say virus software is useless, but here at the Orbiting HQ, we believe that an ounce of prevention is worth far more than a pound of cure. Finally, turn off any features in your browser that automatically unarchive, open files, or mount disk images. But you could just as easily do a couple things on your own to protect yourself. Barring that, don't download random files from unknown or untrusted sources, especially not those described as "ActiveX," which is Windows-only. Unsurprisingly, Intego recommends using its VirusBarrier X5 software to protect you from the trojan. For one, steer clear of sketchy porn sites.

Intego notes that the D-variant installer is in fact a downloader that pulls the trojan in from a remote server, so it could potentially install other malware if the remote server was set up to do so. This trojan does the same thing that the previous versions did, which is to start up malicious DNS servers on your machine to spoof browsers into visiting malicious web sites. If your browser settings allow for automatic DMG mounting, an installer will start automatically when the DMG is downloaded, infecting your machine with the trojan. If one were to ignore the fact that ActiveX is a Windows-only technology and click "OK," a disk image with the trojan will be downloaded.
Internet security purveyor Intego has identified the variant and dubbed it "." The company also warns us that the trojan is set to take advantage of the uninformed, the willfully ignorant, and those that don't use the company's VirusBarrier X5.Īpparently, visitors to certain porn sites (like the barely-disguised PornTube in the screenshot below) will get a pop-up dialog that informs the user that a "missing Video ActiveX Object" is needed to play the presumably NSFW video on the page.
