[DM-MUG] Trojan horse warning

[Jon Thompson]

Legitimate trojans for OS X have been around for a while.  I could  
make an applescript in about two minutes that would make anyone  
without a backup very nervous, put a strange icon on it, then send it  
to someone I know would open it.  That's a trojan.

To avoid this one:

1) Don't surf porn sites
2) If you are going to surf porn sites, don't trust anything that  
they say you need to install.
3) If they do say you need to install something, find a link for the  
software through Google and install it from there.
4) Don't surf porn sites
