They're not root kits. They're trojans - that make you join a botnet. They're in hacked iLife and Photoshop installers on PIRATE bittorrents. They don't function unless you manually located them, manually download them, manually decompress them, manually launch (install) them, then manually type in your admin password. That's five levels of stupidity you have to willingly do to make each of them work. I don't know any Mac users that are that stupid. AND they are NOT protected against by this Google Safe Browsing bs, because they use bittorrent, not the web. - Dan. -- - Psychoceramic Emeritus; South Jersey, USA, Earth --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
