Desi Apple l-a promis inca de saptamana trecuta, Apple a lansat astazi update-ul pentru Mac OS X care sterge Malware-ul Mac Defender. Security update-ul celor de la Apple are 2.3 6 MB si necesita Mac OS X 10.6.7 pentru a fi instalat fara probleme de catre utilizatori. Apple a lansat si o pagina de support pe site-ul sau unde explica tot ce aduce acest update si modul in care poate fi utilizat. De indata ce instalati acest update Mac OS X va verifica daca Mac Defender exista in Mac-ul vostru si daca il gaseste va afisa un mesaj de atentionare prin care va recomanda sa mutati aplicatia infectata inĀ Trash.
Apple maintains a list of known malicious software that is used during the safe download check to determine if a file contains malicious software. The list is stored locally, and with Security Update 2011-003 is updated daily by a background process.
Security Update 2011-003 provides additional protection by checking for the MacDefender malware and its known variants. If MacDefender malware is found, the system will quit this malware, delete any persistent files, and correct any modifications made to configuration or login files. After MacDefender is identified and removed, the message below will be displayed the next time an administrator account logs in.
Mac Defender este singurul malware pe care acest update il sterge asa ca nu va asteptati la altceva. Este foarte posibil ca in Mac OS X 10.6.8 Apple sa includa un patch similar insa este recomandabil sa il instalati pe acesta prin software update.
