I’d like to see this program cost like 5$, and then uploaded to the torrent sites with a different virus in it.
Repeat until the lesson sinks in raising the cost of the removal tool by 5$ each time.

I guess this is the beginning of a whole lot of malware for Macs… just like Windows.

Simply removing the trojan is not enough. Once activated, you have no idea what else it has downloaded and installed on your system… keystroke loggers, rootkits, etc… all which could be hidden from any removal tool.

In short, once you’re infected with malware, you can never trust what your computer is telling you. The only solution is to wipe your machine and reinstall everything from scratch.

So basically, SecureMac is endorsing the theft of iWork ’09… That’s cool….I guess…

I mean I can kind of understand why someone would steal MS office which cost like $300 or more, but when something is a fair price and you still want to steal it you are no robin hood.

If people were really smart they would just download the trial copy of iWork 09 from Apple and then grab a SN.

I sure hope that some one burned their fingers playing with those matches!
