There is a new Mac Trojan called "flashback" and it has hit quite hard already over half a million macs are infected 
. I own a Mac and I checked and I dot have it but I would like to make everyone who owns a Mac know there is a new virus. Here is a link to check and see if you have it and instructions on how to remove it if you do mac and i: Flashback - Detect and remove the uprising Mac OS X Trojan
There is essentially nothing you can do to prevent it until apple patches it. but removing it is quite easy. It is installed onto your mac using java so it can be on a website you visit everyday and you won't even know it because it runs in the background.
Anyway this is just to let everyone know.
Run this in command to know
MAC VIRUS DETECTION COMMAND: /Applications/safari.app/contents/infoDYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
*
IF IT IS THERE THEN DELETE USING
Defaults delete ~/.MacOSX/environmentDYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES
launchctl unsetenv DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES
Just copy paste that in command to be sure it's easy to remove but apple should have patched it since windows and Linux patched this particular Trojan 3 months ago
