Friends,
This stinks. A real virus out in the wild for Macintosh? Really? For reals? Don’t sign up for any antivirus software for the Mac just yet. Even they don’t know how to deal with this at the moment, so don’t throw money at folks out of panic. Here at our Secret Alpine Laboratory, we’ve been working on a timer to let you know exactly when to panic. Not yet, my pretties. Not yet.
Just be careful out there people.

UPDATE: Here’s a non-hysterical list of antivirus and malware-ratting-out software for the Mac from Lifehacker. I’m going to run some free stuff for a little while to see if it doesn’t stink too bad and I’ll let you know how that turns out. This whole think stinks, kinda like the Russian mob telling you that you have to start wearing briefs under your kilt.
