People have been installing it.

It isn't a Mac problem. It is a problem for the web servers out there that let people waltz in and rewrite (poison) the pages hosted on them.

I got a Facebook message from my niece in Florida telling me that she has this virus thing on her Mac; I eventually found out that the browser was going nuts and told her to pay for their antimalware, which she did. (It happened before I heard any of the details on the net; I almost burst out laughing.)

I told her to call the card company and stop the credit card payment, then walked her through what happened and got rid of the thing it installed.
