A new Trojan horse for Mac OS X

F-Secure Announces have discovered a new Trojan horse hides in a fake Flash Player installer to infect machines.

This Trojan horse adds entries in the hosts file in Mac OS X file, allowing it to bypass the DNS to return people to malicious pages. Thus, Google Taiwan page is returned to a copy showing search results change.
Is not exactly the purpose that are hackers, system with visibly a problem related to a failure a server intended to display Pop - ups. As usual, he certainly wants to money from the Internet or, because it affects mainly Taiwanese people, it is perhaps intended for industrial or make political piracy.

If you're worried, you can go check that your host file is unchanged. For that, in the finder use the command go / go to the folder and enter/etc/hosts
