OSX Trojan/Malware discovered

…a new piece of OS X malware has been discovered. Intego has named this malware the OSX.RSPlug.A Trojan Horse. Note that this malware is not a virus—it can’t self-propagate from one machine to another. It is, however, definitely malicious, and it’s packaged in a well-designed trojan horse wrapper.
Your machine could be infected if you’ve recently gone looking for some, um, less-than-flattering pictures of Britney Spears. Thinking you’ve found what you’re looking for, you click a video to watch it, only to see a message stating that your machine lacks the necessary codec. A disk image will then start downloading, and (depending on the settings on your machine) may then mount and launch an installer which asks for your admin password
In our oh-so-humble opinion, that’s what you get for wanting to see Britney Spears naked.
