OS X V10.5 Leopard :: Flashback Support In 10.5 Seems Unreasonable?
Apr 15, 2012
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.

MacPro dual-quad 12GB - 3.5TB, Mac OS X (10.5.7), 2@20" and 1@24"

The CPU process has snowballed to the point that selecting a finder window is unreasonable . Safari is slow to absurdity , after emptying caches . Firefox & Camino are usable , so wildly better . I have rebooted , rebooted fsck - fy , rebooted CMD r , executed permission and file checks , repairs with no stated repairs or issues

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.Â

How to remove Flashback malware on OSX 10.5.8?Â
How do you know if you even have the "Flashback Malware"?Â
(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.Â

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 read the recent Flashback trojan with Apple's Java. I have a client who is still running Mac OS X 10.5.8 and noticed Apple released an updated Java for Mac OS X 10.6. 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?Â

I just recently updated to 10.6.3 which, as far as I know does not have built-in protection from stuff like Flashback Trojan. When I click on "Software Update" all I get is an inactive, blank screen. I was told that if I clicked on that I would be able to download Apple's patch preventing this from infecting my iMac.

I think I need it to play Yahoo games. I went to Safari Preferences and checked Enable Java. (Enable JavaScript was already checked.) But when I click on a Yahoo game, the page loads, yet the game doesn’t appear. I thought I could just enable Java when I wanted to play, then disable it when I wasn't. Obviously this isn’t urgent, but if there’s an easy and safe way to play, I’d like to know.

It seems the cure is worse than the cold.  I read to prevent Flashback from entering my system I need to disable Java. Only now posting comments on people's pictures stops working the moment I hit return, and posting photos complains about a storage error. So far the tests reveal no Flashback virus from Etresoft's tester on this 10.6.2 Macbook Pro.

A friend used the Kapersky Flashbackcheck.com site to check her MacBook running OS 10.5.8. The UID check indicated her computer was infected so she told me she downloaded and ran the first option that she presumes was the Flashback Removal software. After running it and restarting her computer the screen was blank. There wasnt even a menu bar. However the Skype login popped up and that ˜suddenly made a menu bar appear giving her access to the normal Skype menus, Apple Menu, spotlight etc. A bit of rummaging around indicates that all her files are still there it is just that the desktop doesnt launch (Finder problem maybe?) after multiple restarts.
I won't be able to actually get the computer for a week as she is a student and out of town presently.

I downloaded this from the site and installed it. I cant find it as an app to run it.
Is it an app I need to run, or is it installed and runs in the background? If thats the case how do i find it in the activity monitor to make sure its running?

The new Nvidia Chipsets used in the current crop of Macbooks can Use up to 8Gb Of Ram however apple claim to only support 4GB. People have put 8Gb into the new macbook Pro only to find the OS is unstable and unable to address the full 8Gb, 6Gb however works ok. I am guessing the limitation is the OS. Support for 32-bit apps and parts of the OS that are there for older hardware. Can any of you wiz kids shed some light on 10.6 for me will it support the full 8Gb of RAM?
