How to avoid Flashback Trojan?

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.8), Early 2011 i5 Intel 3000 HD
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´m a OS X 10.5.8. user. Now my iMac is infected with the flashback trojan. Especially my gmx mail-account is forwarding spam-massages. What do I have to do?

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.

How can I check whether my MacBook Air is infected with the Flashback Trojan?
Info:MacBook Air, It may be Mac Snow Leopard
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.

Sitting here, a bit paranoid after recent newflash bout mac trojans. Trying to follow instructions from F-secure on how to detect if my computers been infected .They say i must use terminal and use a command like this: defaults read /Applications/Safari.app/Contents/Info LSEnvironment. When i do this its all ok, but the problem is i am using chrome as browser. Cant find a single note, googling on how to search for the trojan if youre using chrome, so i turn this way to ask the pros (?) how to deal with this.
Is flashback able to affect chrome and how do i detect it?

Why is Apple not addressing the issue of the Flashback Trojan? It is a tad disconcerting to have to rely on third-party advice, much of which seems rather iffy.
I am quite sure that most Apple customers are waiting for some sort of Official response and clear directives as to how to a) figure out whether ones computer has been hit by the virus, and b) how to safely address it.

I had one of 15 of these laptops in the same room and it did not let the user login to a web-based grading site. The MacBook did log in for me at home but, there was a delay with a brief webpage saying something about so many seconds to redirect. (Could not read it all.) I never experienced a delay before using this web-based grading site.

I went to the Fsecure link and followed some of the steps on terminal. None of the file names came up so it seems like my computer is clean, but how can I be 100% sure? What's a good virus/malware/trojan scan I can run on my computer to be 100% sure?

I went a couple weeks ok with the Scanner and Image Capture. And then kaput, it doesn't work. I thought about it some and it seemed to stop working after I did Software Update on March 17th, 2012. In that update was a "Digital Camera Raw 3.1.0" update. Which makes me very suspicious. Here is the error I get when I open Image Capture: So, it recognizes the scanner but can't do anything in Image Capture or the with the scanner buttons. I ran Software Update again, just to see if there was a new updated scanner driver but nothing came up. I really want to avoid using the manufacturer's SW drivers etc.

I'm getting the following report from LS on startup: ".sunupdate wants to connect to the following... then followed by a series of nonsense URLs: vxvhwcixcxqxd.com; stxeapbewbblp.com; and tygoiuoigwodd.com and then all again as .info/.net. What's going on?I've denied those connections in LS, but am now worried as I've heard about the Flashback trojan. I've also run through the Terminal commands to check and see if I'm infected, but those come back clean (or at least the instructions I followed for the '.K' version did... I don't know of any other check for other kinds).I've also written down the info for IP addresses, rev DNS names, process numbers, etc. that came along with the LS alert. But thought I'd better find out if it's a worry before typing in all that info.

Is there a way to avoid a Snow Leopard reinstalling/formatting if someone steals my macbook?
I mean, if the stolen macbook gets formatted I won't be able to use hidden app that locates the mac, uses the iSight camera, takes screenshots and send them to my mail.
