-----Original Message----- From: Bhawana [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, July 14, 2009 10:51 AM To: Subramani L Subject: McAfee Avert Labs report a trojan for Mac OS X systems Dear Mr Subramani Researchers at McAfee Avert Labs have warned about a new malware attack for Mac OS X systems. McAfee Avert Labs report that a trojan malware known as "Puper" disguises itself as a video program called "Mac Cinema Installer". The malware appears as a disk image, which when launched will in turn execute an installer application for the fictional MacCinema software. Once the installer completes its task, the user becomes infected with a script file named 'AdobeFlash'. The malicious perl script then launches itself every five hours, and attempts to download and launch other malware on the infected system. In case, you wish to seek further information on the subject, I could put you in touch with Mr.Lokesh Kumar, Research Scientist, at McAfee Avert Labs, who will be able to share deeper insights on the topic with you. Do let me know if this interests you.
