Beware: that site tried to install an exe file on my computer.
Yet.Ah, crap. I'm on a Mac so such antics don't work.
Yet.
But since it hasn't worked for 5+ years since Macs became mainstream, I'll take my chancesYet.
I used to have to remote my dad's windows machine and fix spyware issues a few times a year. He finally decided to buy a mac and I've never had to mess with it again.
Oh I agree that OSX isn't bulletproof. But the likelyhood of you getting a virus or spyware is still much much less. I've never had to deal with removing anything like that on a Mac - but for quite awhile I made a living doing it on the PC.Sorry to report that Mac has been in double-digit market-share for some time now, and is a popular target at today's security conventions.
What saves it more than anything is Unix conventions of separation of superuser and regular user privs, etc.
But recent OSX Lion hacks where the idiots at Apple cache the password file (attackable via FireWire which has direct RAM access) and allowing any user to read the shadow file (somewhat debated - only in certain login states) including the Guest User, are showing a lot of bad design/thinking on the part of non-Unix trained developers.
Highly recommended to turn off Fast User Switching and never enable the Guest user account on Lion at this point.
They are expecting 30,000 visitors to go through the maze this year. It was planted using gps, not cut into this pattern....
