Is Flashback a danger to us still on 10.4.11, or does it affect only 10.6 and above?(I still use Tiger because of some needed, but outdated, software I use.

20" alum iMac , 2.4 GHz, 2 GB; Parallels and XP Home, Mac OS X (10.4.11)
So while browsing the internet I have had the computer pop up to alert me that a program has downloaded itself. The first was PerformanceOptimizer which shrunk my screen and "informed me about the dangers of viruses". Then it force downloaded itself and my downloads stack showed me the .exe file. I removed and ran clamXav. Now the same thing happened but today it called itself Antivirus 2009. I force quit Safari and nothing downloaded to my stack. Is this how others here notice these attempts that are aimed at PC users?

As of this morning I turned on my 2006 imac running snow leopard and the flashback icon, the fake acrobat reader icon with the circular arrows, is lodged on my dock and is not removable. I ran apple's security update, but, that malware icon is now stuck there. Won't come off. What to do?

I have toruble viewing Youtube videos and some other videos on the web. I uninstalled Adobe Flash, v.11.2.202.233 and tried to install the latest (at the time) v. 11.2.202.235 but get the "spinning ball" treatment and no progress on installation. Is my problem related to the Flashback malware or Adobe Flash or Java app? I believe someone or Apple posted a thread on how to determine if one's computer has the Flashback malware.I am running Mac OSX 10.7.

My imac, running Leopard, has Flashback. Since Apple is not supporting this problem on OS X 10.5, how do I get rid of it? I have since disabled JAVA and have improved dramatically the IMac operation.

If 10.5 is up to date, is it vunerable to the Flashback.G Trojan that was reported on 2/24? All of the news items about this speak only of 10.6 or 10.7. They imply that if OS X is up to date, then there are no worries.

The initial instructions are: 1. Run the following command in Terminal: ls -lA ~/Library/LaunchAgents/ 2. Take note of the filename. Proceed only when you have one file. Otherwise contact our customer care. I ran the indicated command and encountered this output: Node00:~ mdyson$ ls -lA ~/Library/LaunchAgents/ total 64
[code]...
In item 2,based on multiple results,my apparent next step would be to contact "our customer care" but I am not F-Secure customer and instructions as to exactly whom and how I am to contact them are lacking. For various reasons I did have Java installed and enabled in Safari.

How do you know if you even have the "Flashback Malware"?
(30% of Macs run 10.5.8 or older, It should only be a matter of time before the Java fix is updated) Does anybody know when the update will be sent?

I don't trust the line commands and the apple-scripts all over the net because I don't know which are most likely to be legit.

I understand that Apple want to forget older versions of the OS but simply because a newer version comes out doesn't mean we all have to run out and spend thousands of dollrs to replace perfectly good SW. The SW I have currently does everything I need and I don't see a compelling reason to replace all of my photo and video SW. I'm also not interested in turning my 3 headed mac into a glorified iPhone. Am I alone in this or being unreasonable? The update is not complex so why won't they do this? I also like how the communities no longer support this version.

My internet will be cut off in 48 hours unless I remove this virus. I got an e-mail saying I was infected with this flashback virus. I called Rogers to confirm that it wasn't a phishing e-mail and it is legitimate. The only thing they did was give me numbers to a paid technical support line, I'd prefer not to call and pay. I went online and found a tutorial for removing it using Terminal, which I tried and got the error messages which apparently means I'm not affected. How do I remove this virus before my internet gets cut off? I am operating a MAC OSX 10.5.8 software system on my macbook?

I assume there is none for unsupported 10.5.8. Is there a way to remove its Java or protect it without upgrading the OS?
